To find out how many yards the object will travel in one minute when it is moving at a constant rate of 32 feet per second, we can follow these steps:
-
Calculate how many feet the object travels in one minute:
- There are 60 seconds in a minute, so: \[ 32 , \text{feet/second} \times 60 , \text{seconds/minute} = 1920 , \text{feet/minute} \]
-
Convert feet to yards:
- There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so: \[ \frac{1920 , \text{feet}}{3 , \text{feet/yard}} = 640 , \text{yards} \]
Thus, the object will travel 640 yards per minute.
The correct answer is 640 yards per minute.
