Question

An object is moving at the constant rate of 32 feet per second. How many yards will it travel in one minute? 10.7 yards per minute 96 yards per minute 640 yards per minute 1,920 yards per minute

Answer 1

1 yard = 3 feet

1 minute = 60 seconds

Multiply 32 feet per second by 60 to find feet per minute:

32 x 60 = 1920 feet per minute.

Divide total feet per minute by 3 feet to find yards per minute:

1920 / 3 =640 yards per minute.
