A pickleball moves at a speed of 100 miles per hour. What is the speed in feet per minute? 5,280 feet = 1 mile. 60 minutes = 1 hour
A: 528,000 feet per minute
B: 2,933 feet per minute
C: 146 feet per minute
D: 8,800 feet per minute
To convert miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to multiply by both the number of feet in a mile (5,280) and the number of minutes in an hour (60).
So, the speed in feet per minute is: 100 miles per hour * 5,280 feet per mile * 1 hour/60 minutes = 528,000 feet per minute
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 528,000 feet per minute.
To convert the speed of 100 miles per hour to feet per minute, we can use the given conversion factors:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
First, we need to convert miles to feet:
100 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet
Then, we can convert hours to minutes:
1 hour * 60 minutes/hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, the speed of a pickleball in feet per minute is 528,000 feet/60 minutes = 8,800 feet per minute.
So, the correct answer is D: 8,800 feet per minute.
To determine the speed of the pickleball in feet per minute, we need to convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per minute.
First, we know that there are 5,280 feet in 1 mile. So, we can multiply the speed of the pickleball (100 miles per hour) by 5,280 to convert it to feet per hour.
100 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet/hour
Next, we need to convert the speed from feet per hour to feet per minute. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can divide the speed in feet per hour by 60 to get the speed in feet per minute.
528,000 feet/hour รท 60 minutes/hour = 8,800 feet/minute
Therefore, the speed of the pickleball is 8,800 feet per minute. So, the correct answer is option D: 8,800 feet per minute.
