Algebra.Com's Answer #350262 by nahataba(3)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! you find the conversion factor. \n" ); document.write( "you set it up like this: \n" ); document.write( "44ft/second and since there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 minutes x 60 seconds) you times 44ft/1 second x 3600 seconds/ hour \n" ); document.write( "you can then cross cancel the seconds (as in the words) \n" ); document.write( "then since its miles per hour you would do 1 mi/5280 ft because thats how many feet are in a mile and you cross cancel the feet\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so far this is what you should have: \n" ); document.write( "44ft/1 x 3600/1 hr x 1 mi/5280 \n" ); document.write( "then you multiply 44 and 3600 which is 158,400 and you divide that by 5280 which is 30. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the answer is 30mi/hr \n" ); document.write( " |
