Questions

Answer 1

To convert 864 inches per day to yards per hour, we can go through the following steps:

1. **Convert inches to yards:**
- There are 36 inches in a yard. Therefore:
\[
\text{Yards} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{36} = \frac{864 \text{ inches}}{36} = 24 \text{ yards}
\]

2. **Convert days to hours:**
- There are 24 hours in a day.

3. **Calculate yards per hour:**
- Now we need to convert the total yards per day to yards per hour:
\[
\text{Yards per hour} = \frac{\text{Yards per day}}{\text{Hours per day}} = \frac{24 \text{ yards}}{24 \text{ hours}} = 1 \text{ yard/hour}
\]

Thus, the equivalent rate is:
\[
864 \text{ inches/day} = 1 \text{ yard/hour}
\]
