Ms. Sue
Sorry. I have no idea how to convert feet per minute to year per minute.

Is it possible you have a typo?
Jenny
Convert 5.1 feet per minute to yards per minute
Ms. Sue
Ahh -- now that makes sense.
Ms. Sue

Jenny
The answer are?

1.7

153

17

15.3
Ms. Sue
You have two numbers -- 5.1 and 3

Should you
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?

I'll be glad to check your answer.
Jenny
Multiply
Ms. Sue
What answer do you get?

Jenny
I think the answer is 15.3
Ms. Sue
But 15.3 yards = 45.9 feet.

Multiplication can't be right.

You need to find the number of yards in 5.1 feet.
