Question

Convert to find the equivalent rate.

60 yards
minute
=

feet
second

Answer 1

To convert from yards per minute to feet per second, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. **Convert yards to feet:**
- 1 yard = 3 feet

2. **Convert minutes to seconds:**
- 1 minute = 60 seconds

Now, let's perform the conversion:

1. Convert 60 yards to feet:
\[
60 \text{ yards} \times 3 \frac{\text{feet}}{\text{yard}} = 180 \text{ feet}
\]

2. Convert minutes to seconds:
\[
1 \text{ minute} = 60 \text{ seconds}
\]

Now, we can write the rate in feet per second:
\[
60 \text{ yards per minute} = \frac{180 \text{ feet}}{60 \text{ seconds}} = 3 \text{ feet per second}
\]

So, the equivalent rate is:
\[
60 \text{ yards per minute} = 3 \text{ feet per second}
\]
