Question

Answer 1

Answer:

40 ft/min

Explanations:

The given measurement is:

8 in / sec

The task is to convert from in/sec to ft/min

Note:

1 inch = 1/12 feet

1 second = 1/60 minutes

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} 8\text{ in/sec = 8}\times\frac{1}{12}\div\frac{1}{60} \\ 8\text{ in/sec = }\frac{8}{12}\times\frac{60}{1} \\ 8\text{ in/sec = 8 }\times5 \\ 8\text{ in/sec = 40 ft/min} \end{gathered}$
