Question

Us the fact that there are 5,280 feet in one mile to do the following. Now convert 900 inches per second to miles per minute. Then convert 10 miles per day to feet per hour.

Answer 1

You need to convert inches to feet, then feet to miles, then seconds to minutes.  So you need three conversion factors:

 

(900 in/sec)(12 ft/in)(1/5280 mi/ft)(60 sec/min) = _______

 

For 10 mi/day, convert miles to feet then days to hours.  Two conversion factors:

 

(10 mi/day)(5280 ft/mi)(1/24 day/hour) = _______
