Question

How do you convert 10 miles per hour to the unit rate form of feet per minute?

Answer 1

`10` miles per hour is equivalent to `880` feet per minute.

Explanation:

To convert `10` miles per hour in to feet per minute, we should know number of feet in a mile and number of minutes in an hour.

One mile has `8` furlong, but as each furlong has `220` yards, one mile will have `8xx220=1760` yards. But each yard is `3` feet and hence each mile has `1760xx3=5280` feet. Also an hour has `60` minutes.

Hence, `10` miles per hour is `5280xx10=52800` feet per hour.

Or `52800` feet in `60` minutes.

or `52800-:60=880` feet per minute.

Hence, `10` miles per hour is equivalent to `880` feet per minute.
