Convert the rate of 10 yards per 5 minutes to feet per hour
-------------------------
10 yds/5 minutes = (2 yds/min)(3 feet/1 yd)(60 min/1 hr)
-----------
= (2*3*60)/(1*1*1)(feet/hour)
-----------
= 360 ft/hr

How many feet in a yard? 3. So it's 30 feet per 5 minutes.
How many "5 minutes" in an hour? 60/5 = 12
If you travel 30 feet in 5 minutes, then you travel 12 times that in an hour.
30 * 12 = 360 feet per hour.
