The known facts in the given problem is that the object travels at the rate of 5 ft/sec. Now we know that Distance travelled in 5 second = 5 feet Distance travelled in 1 second = (5/5) feet = 1 feet Distance travelled in 1 minute = (1 * 60) feet = 60 feet Distance travelled in 60 minutes = (60 * 60) feet = 3600 feet So the distance travelled by the object in 1 hour is 3600 feet.
