48 inches

=

feet
minute

1 answer

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

  1. Convert inches to feet: There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert inches to feet, you divide by 12.
  2. Convert seconds to minutes: There are 60 seconds in a minute, so to convert seconds to minutes, you multiply by 60.

Let's do the conversion:

  1. Convert 48 inches to feet: \[ \text{Feet} = \frac{48 \text{ inches}}{12 \text{ inches/foot}} = 4 \text{ feet} \]

  2. Now convert feet per second to feet per minute: \[ \text{Feet per minute} = 4 \text{ feet/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 240 \text{ feet/minute} \]

So, \(48 \text{ inches/second} = 240 \text{ feet/minute}\).
