Answer 2

how ?/?//?//

10 cm
1 sec

then from there i don't know what to put

Answer 3

how about this approach:

10 cm/sec
= 600 cm/minute
= 36000 cm/hr

1 ft = 12 x 2.54 cm = 30.48 cm

so 36000 cm/hr
= (36000/30.48) ft/hr
= 1181.102...

you were right.

Answer 4

Go back to one of the previous posts to see my calculations.
