Question

sam ran 63,756 feet in 70 minutes. what is sams rate in miles per hour (there are 5,280 feet in one mile.)

Answer 1

To convert feet per minute to miles per hour, we need to divide the feet per minute by the number of feet in a mile (5,280) and then multiply by the number of minutes in an hour (60).

Sam's rate in miles per hour is:

63,756 feet / 5,280 feet/mile x 60 minutes/hour / 70 minutes = 9.1 miles per hour (rounded to one decimal place).
