Question

78 feet
second
=

inches
minute

Answer 1

To convert feet per second to inches per minute, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert feet to inches: There are 12 inches in a foot.
2. Convert seconds to minutes: There are 60 seconds in a minute.

Here's the calculation:

1. Convert feet to inches:
\[
78 \, \text{feet} \times 12 \, \text{inches/foot} = 936 \, \text{inches}
\]

2. Convert seconds to minutes:
\[
1 \, \text{second} = \frac{1}{60} \, \text{minutes}
\]
So, for 1 second:
\[
936 \, \text{inches/second} \times 60 \, \text{seconds/minute} = 56160 \, \text{inches/minute}
\]

Thus, 78 feet per second equals **56,160 inches per minute**.
