To convert the speed of the pickleball from miles per hour to feet per minute, we can follow these steps:
-
Convert miles to feet: Since 1 mile = 5,280 feet, we can convert 100 miles to feet: \[ 100 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 528,000 \text{ feet} \]
-
Convert hours to minutes: Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, we convert the speed from feet per hour to feet per minute: \[ \frac{528,000 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ hour}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{528,000 \text{ feet}}{60} = 8,800 \text{ feet/minute} \]
Thus, the speed of the pickleball in feet per minute is 8,800 feet per minute.
