To convert the speed from feet per minute to miles per day, we can follow these steps using the provided conversion factors.
1. **Convert feet per minute to feet per hour**:
\[
10 \, \text{ft/min} \times 60 \, \text{min/hr} = 600 \, \text{ft/hr}
\]
2. **Convert feet per hour to feet per day**:
\[
600 \, \text{ft/hr} \times 24 \, \text{hr/day} = 14400 \, \text{ft/day}
\]
3. **Convert feet per day to miles per day**:
\[
\frac{14400 \, \text{ft/day}}{5280 \, \text{ft/mi}} = \frac{14400}{5280} \, \text{mi/day}
\]
Simplifying that fraction:
\[
\frac{14400 \div 1440}{5280 \div 1440} = \frac{10}{3.6667} \approx 2.7273 \, \text{mi/day}
\]
Rounding to the nearest hundredth:
\[
2.73 \, \text{mi/day}
\]
Therefore, the speed of the object is approximately **2.73 miles per day**.
