Question

A skydiver is falling 176 feet per second. How many feet per minute is he falling

Answer 1

The correct answer here is that if the skydiver is falling 176 feet per second, he is falling 10560 feet per minute. This can be worked out quite easily, by considering that if there are 60 seconds in a minute, we then need to work out the proportion of 176 feet/1 sec = x/60 sec. You then need to multiply 60 by 176 to get 10560, which is your answer.
