Answer:

speed conversion. feet into inches and minutes into seconds.

120 inches/sec

Explanation:

600 ft / min

youd multiply feet into inches and minutes into seconds

so since 12 inches are in a foot it would be 600 feet x 12 inches

and there are 60 seconds in a minute so 1 minute x 60 seconds

600 x 12 = 7200

1 x 60 = 60

now you divide 60 into 7200

7200 inches / 60 seconds = 120 inches per second

120 inches / second
