a tutortoise can travel 10 cm per second. what is the turtoise's speed in feet per hour?
10 cm = 0.328084 foot
Take it from there.
1 foot is 12 inches we don't have that on our conversions
To determine the turtle's speed in feet per hour, we first need to convert the given speed from centimeters per second to feet per hour.
Step 1: Convert centimeters to feet
Since 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters,
we can divide the given speed of 10 cm/s by 30.48 to convert it to feet per second.
10 cm/s ÷ 30.48 cm/ft = 0.328 ft/s (rounded to 3 decimal places)
Step 2: Convert seconds to hours
There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, so there are 3,600 seconds in an hour.
To convert feet per second to feet per hour, we multiply the speed by the number of seconds in an hour:
0.328 ft/s × 3,600 s/h = 1,180.8 ft/h (rounded to 1 decimal place)
Therefore, the turtle's speed is approximately 1,180.8 feet per hour.
