60 minutes=1 hour

1 answer

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

  1. Convert miles to feet: \[ 100 \text{ miles} \times 5280 \text{ feet/mile} = 528000 \text{ feet} \]

  2. Convert hours to minutes: \[ 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \]

  3. Calculate the speed in feet per minute: \[ \text{Speed in feet per minute} = \frac{528000 \text{ feet}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 8800 \text{ feet/minute} \]

Thus, the speed of the pickleball is 8800 feet per minute.
