Question

Please show steps when solving this.

Answer 1

`(240 inches)/(1 minute)`

We're going to change one unit at a time. Let's start with inches to feet. There are 12 inches in 1 foot. Divide 240 by 12 or multiply by 1/12.

`(240 inches)/(1 minute) * (1 foot)/(12 inches)=(20 feet)/(1 minute)`

Next, let's do the time using the same idea. Remember that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

`(20 feet)/(1 minute) * (60 minutes)/(1 hour) = (1200feet)/(1hour)`

Answer: 1200 feet per hour

Hope this helps!
