A car is driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour. What is the speed of the car in feet per minute?

Step 1. 5280 feet = 1 mile and 60 minutes = 1 hour

Step 2. 60 miles/hour * 5280 feet/ mile * 1 hour/60 minutes = 5280 feet/minute where we note that the miles and hour cancel since they appear both in the numerator and denominator.

Step 3. ANSWER: The speed is 5280 feet/minute.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
