In distance word problems, times is measured in miles per hour not minutes.
This means we need to convert hours to seconds.
We also need to use the formula D = rt, where D = distance, r = rate or speed and t = time in hours and then solve for t.
100 = 35t
Solving for t, we get 100/35 = t.
We now convert 100/35 hours to seconds.
100/35 in terms of seconds is about 10285.714285714

mi/hr x ft/mi x hr/sec
ft/sec
