To convert 18 feet per hour to inches per hour, you need to know that there are 12 inches in a foot.

Here's the conversion:

  1. Start with the given rate: \[ 18 \text{ feet/hour} \]

  2. Multiply by the conversion factor (12 inches per 1 foot): \[ 18 \text{ feet/hour} \times \frac{12 \text{ inches}}{1 \text{ foot}} \]

  3. Calculate: \[ 18 \times 12 = 216 \text{ inches/hour} \]

So, \( 18 \text{ feet/hour} = 216 \text{ inches/hour} \).
