Question

How do you convert 32 yd/min to in/sec?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

There are `36` inches per yard

And, there are `60` seconds per minute

Therefore, we can convert 32 yd/min into in/sec as follows:

`(32"yd")/"min" xx (36"in")/"yd" xx (1"min")/(60"sec") =>`

`(32color(red)(cancel(color(black)("yd"))))/color(blue)(cancel(color(black)("min"))) xx (36"in")/color(red)(cancel(color(black)("yd"))) xx (1color(blue)(cancel(color(black)("min"))))/(60"sec") =>`

`32 xx 36"in" xx 1/(60"sec") =>`

`1152"in" xx 1/(60"sec") =>`

`(1152"in")/(60"sec") =>`

`(19.2"in")/"sec"`
