Question 167301: I hope you can help me. I just went back to school and I am having so much trouble with the math (I had to start college in the "stupid math" class, and I'm STILL having trouble!). Unfortunately my math professor is not very good at explaining things. He's very nice, but he's very old, and when he's putting a problem on the board, he sometimes gets confused and gets the wrong answer, which then confuses me even more! I need to know about unit multipliers. How do you know which measurement goes where (top or bottom of fraction)? I had a homework question (which I got wrong; I know the answer, but I still cannot find out how to get that answer.
Convert 44 feet per second to miles per hour.
The answer is 38 mph, but I have absolutely no idea how they came up with that answer. I've been working on this problem for over an hour. Thank you so much for your help.

Question 164517: I have been having trouble with unit multipliers, and my algebra teacher isn't very good at explaining them. I have missed them on every test. I had a test today, and it was wrong.
Here is the problem:
Convert 710m. to inches. (Go from m to cm to in)
On the test I tried something like:
(the dashes represent spaces in between fractions)
-----1000cm.----1m.-----71000cm.----1in.---------71000(2.54)in
710•_____x______=_________x_________=________________
-----1m.--1000cm.----1------2.54cm.----------1

i would just simply like to know:
(in words) how to do a unit multiplier
and how to do the test question above.
thank you.

Question 158650: In school we are doing double unit conversions and i dont understand how to do them. For example, 72 miles/hour=_________meters/seconds. I tried doing
72mi 5280ft
--- ------- = 380160ft.
1 x 1 mi
i converted that to meters by multiplying it by .3048(i have a conversion sheet) and got 321868.8. To me that doesn't seem right because that seems like too big of a number to be meters per second. Please help me asap!

I use 1ft over 12in to try and solve is that correct. If anyone could with this problem I'd gradly appreciate it. thanks
