Suppose you plan to visit Carlsbad Caverns. You want to take the three-mile walking tour.
At home, you pace your self and find out that you stroll 90 feet per minute. Use unit analysis
to determine how many hours it will take you to walk the 3 miles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 mile is 5280 feet.

3 miles = 5280*3 feet.

Divide the distance of 5280*3 feet by 90 feet.

You will get the needed time in minutes.

Happy calculations (!)
