Question

You are driving a Winnebago at a casual speed of 54 miles per hour (mph) on a journey to visit your grandmother in Alabama.

Answer 1

Answer:

4752 ft/min.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Speed (in mph) = 54 mph

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

Speed ( in ft/min) =?

Next, we shall convert 54 mph to ft/h. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mph = 5280 ft/h

Therefore,

54 mph = 54 mph × 5280 ft/h / 1 mph

54 mph = 285120 ft/h

Finally, we shall convert 285120 ft/h to ft/min. This can be obtained as follow:

1 ft/h = 1/60 ft/min

Therefore,

285120 ft/h = 285120 ft/h × 1/60 ft/min / 1 ft/h

285120 ft/h = 4752 ft/min

From the calculations made above, 54 mph is equivalent to 4752 ft/min.
