Question

A pickleball moves at a speed of 100 miles per hour, what is the speed in feet per minute

Answer 1

To convert the speed of the pickleball from miles per hour to feet per minute, we can follow these steps:

1. Convert miles to feet. There are 5,280 feet in one mile.
2. Convert hours to minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour.

Now, let's do the calculation:

1. Convert miles per hour to feet per hour:
\[
100 \text{ miles/hour} \times 5280 \text{ feet/mile} = 528,000 \text{ feet/hour}
\]

2. Convert feet per hour to feet per minute:
\[
\frac{528,000 \text{ feet/hour}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} = 8,800 \text{ feet/minute}
\]

Therefore, the speed of the pickleball is **8,800 feet per minute**.
