Answer 1

2130 feet per hour

Explanation:

462*60; because your trying to find out how many feet per hour so you have to multiply 462 inches by 60 minutes because 60 minutes= 1 hour.

462*60= 27720

27720/12; because you want to find out how many feet and not inches, so you have to divide 27720 by 12 because there is 12 inches in one foot.

27720/12= 2130

so your answer is 2130 feet per hour. Hope this helps :D
