Answer 1

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

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

Now, let's do the conversion:

1. Convert 60 feet to inches:
\[
60 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 720 \text{ inches}
\]

2. Convert minutes to seconds:
\[
1 \text{ minute} = 60 \text{ seconds}
\]

3. Now convert feet per minute to inches per second:
\[
720 \text{ inches/minute} \div 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 12 \text{ inches/second}
\]

Thus, **60 feet per minute is equal to 12 inches per second.**
