10 ft/min ____ mi/hour

10 ft/min = 600 ft/hour

600 / 5280 = 0.114 mph

I simplified the whole thing when I converted it to a fraction. I got 57/500 but it didn't work. .114 = 57/500 right? I didn't get it right though.

To convert from feet per minute to miles per hour, we need to use conversion factors.

First, let's convert feet to miles. Since 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, we can set up the following ratio:

1 mile / 5280 feet

Now, let's convert minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so we can set up the following ratio:

1 hour / 60 minutes

Combining these conversion factors, we have:

(1 mile / 5280 feet) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)

To cancel out the units we don't need (feet and minutes), we can multiply the numerical value by the conversion factors:

10 ft/min * (1 mile / 5280 feet) * (1 hour / 60 minutes)

Simplifying the expression, we get:

10 / (5280 * 60) miles/hour

Calculating the numerical value, we have:

10 / (316800) miles/hour

Simplifying further, we get:

0.00003125 miles/hour

Therefore, 10 feet per minute is equal to approximately 0.00003125 miles per hour.

Yes, 0.114 is 57/500 but 57/500 is not the right fraction. The answer really is 0.1136364 which rounds to 0.114 mi/hr.

I don't know how you arrived at 57/500. The lowest fraction is 15/132.
