Question

Convert 2000 ft./min. to miles per hour round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

Answer:

The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed = s = 2000 ft per min

Now, ∵ 5280 feet = 1 miles

so, 1 feet = $\dfrac{1}{5280}$ miles

∴ 2000 feet =  $\dfrac{1}{5280}$ × 2000 miles

i.e 2000 feet = 0.378 miles

Again

∵ 1 minute = $\dfrac{1}{60}$ hour

So, The speed in miles per hour

s = $\dfrac{distance}{time}$

∴ s = $\frac{0.378}{\frac{1}{60}}$

i.e s = 2.268 miles per hour

Hence, The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour . answer
