Question

540 feet
minute
=

yards
second

Answer 1

To convert from feet per minute to yards per second, we can use the following conversion factors:

1 yard = 3 feet, and
1 minute = 60 seconds.

First, convert feet per minute to yards per minute:
\[
540 \text{ feet/minute} \div 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 180 \text{ yards/minute}
\]

Next, convert yards per minute to yards per second:
\[
180 \text{ yards/minute} \div 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 3 \text{ yards/second}
\]

So, \( 540 \) feet per minute is equal to \( 3 \) yards per second.
