To convert miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to multiply the speed by the conversion factor:
Speed in feet per minute = Speed in miles per hour x (5280 feet / 1 mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)
Speed in feet per minute = 100 miles/hour x (5280 feet / 1 mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)
Speed in feet per minute = 100 x 5280 x (1 / 60)
Speed in feet per minute = 100 x 88
Speed in feet per minute = 8,800 feet per minute
Therefore, the correct answer is 8,800 feet per minute.
To convert the speed of the pickleball from miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to use the conversion factors given:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, we can calculate the speed as follows:
Speed in feet per minute = (speed in miles per hour) * (5280 feet per mile) / (60 minutes per hour)
Substituting the given values:
Speed in feet per minute = (100 miles per hour) * (5280 feet per mile) / (60 minutes per hour)
Simplifying the expression:
Speed in feet per minute = (100 * 5280) / 60 feet per minute
Calculating:
Speed in feet per minute = 5,280,000 / 60 feet per minute
Speed in feet per minute ≈ 88,000 feet per minute.
So, the speed of the pickleball is approximately 88,000 feet per minute.
To convert the speed of 100 miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to remember that there are 5,280 feet in 1 mile and 60 minutes in 1 hour.
First, let's convert 100 miles to feet.
100 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet
This gives us the total distance traveled in feet in 1 hour.
Now, let's convert the speed from hours to minutes.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can divide the distance by 60 to get the speed in feet per minute.
528,000 feet / 60 minutes = 8,800 feet per minute
Therefore, the speed of the pickleball is 8,800 feet per minute.
