To convert the speed of the pickleball from miles per hour to feet per minute, we can use the following conversion factors:

1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes

Now we can set up the conversion:

\[ 100 \text{ miles/hour} \times \frac{5,280 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ mile}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} \]

Calculating this step by step:

  1. Convert miles to feet: \[ 100 \text{ miles/hour} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 528,000 \text{ feet/hour} \]

  2. Convert hours to minutes: \[ \frac{528,000 \text{ feet/hour}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} = 8,800 \text{ feet/minute} \]

Thus, the speed of the pickleball is 8,800 feet per minute.
