wow!!! sorry didn't mean to post that many but will you please help!!!
1 meter = a little over three feet.
6 * 60 = ?
To find Daniel's rate in feet per hour, we need to convert both meters to feet and minutes to hours.
First, let's convert the rate from meters per minute to feet per minute. Since 1 meter is equivalent to 3.28084 feet, we can multiply the rate of 2 meters per minute by 3.28084 to get the rate in feet per minute:
2 meters/minute * 3.28084 feet/meter = 6.56168 feet/minute
Next, we need to convert the rate from feet per minute to feet per hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can multiply the rate of 6.56168 feet per minute by 60 to get the rate in feet per hour:
6.56168 feet/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 393.7008 feet/hour
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we can say that Daniel's rate is about 394 feet per hour.
Therefore, the correct option is D. about 394 feet per hour.
