Question 770806: This is a Dimensional Analysis problem, also if can please help me understand this a littler more, because honestly im very confused about this.
if you are driving 100 kilometers per hour, what is your speed in feet per minute?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. Turn km into feet: 100km*(1000m/1km)*(2.83ft/1m)=283000 ft
2. Turn hours to minutes: 1hr*(60min/1hr)=60 min
3. divide feet over minute: 283000ft/60min= 4718 ft/min
