To convert 50 feet per minute to inches per hour, follow these steps:
-
Convert feet to inches: There are 12 inches in a foot. So, to convert feet to inches, multiply by 12.
\[ 50 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 600 \text{ inches} \]
-
Convert minutes to hours: There are 60 minutes in an hour. To convert from minutes to hours, multiply by 60.
\[ 600 \text{ inches/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 36000 \text{ inches/hour} \]
Therefore, 50 feet per minute is equal to 36,000 inches per hour.
