Question 224047
A car is driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour. What is the speed of the car in feet per minute?


Step 1.  5280 feet = 1 mile and 60 minutes = 1 hour


Step 2.  60 miles/hour * 5280 feet/ mile * 1 hour/60 minutes = 5280 feet/minute where we note that the miles and hour cancel since they appear both in the numerator and denominator.


Step 3.  ANSWER:  The speed is 5280 feet/minute.


I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
