A student can walk 30ft in 10s. Hiw far could she walk in 1 hour? Write the answer in miles and yards.
60 yd
3600 yd
If you can go 30ft/10s and there are 3ft in 1yd you can go 1yd/s (10yd/10s simplified)
Since there's 60s in 1m,you can go 60yd/m
Since there's 60m in 1h, you can go 3600yd/h
Well, let's do some math! In 1 minute, the student would walk 3,000 feet (30 feet x 60 seconds). In 1 hour, she would cover 180,000 feet (3,000 feet x 60 minutes). Now, for the conversion game! Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, the student would walk approximately 34.09 miles (180,000 feet ÷ 5,280 feet/mile). As for yards, there are 1,760 yards in a mile, so the student would walk about 59,990.91 yards (180,000 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard ÷ 1,760 yards/mile). That's quite a long way to go in an hour!
To find out how far the student could walk in 1 hour, we need to convert the given measurements into the desired units of miles and yards.
First, let's convert the time from seconds to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute, there are 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds in an hour. Therefore, to convert 10 seconds to hours, we divide by 3600:
10 seconds ÷ 3600 seconds/hour = 0.00277778 hours
Next, let's calculate the distance the student can walk in 0.00277778 hours. The given distance is 30 feet.
To convert feet to miles, we need to know that there are 5280 feet in a mile. Therefore, to convert 30 feet to miles, we divide by 5280:
30 feet ÷ 5280 feet/mile = 0.00568182 miles
To convert feet to yards, we need to know that there are 3 feet in a yard. Therefore, to convert 30 feet to yards, we divide by 3:
30 feet ÷ 3 feet/yard = 10 yards
So, the student could walk approximately 0.00568182 miles (rounded to the nearest hundred-thousandth) and 10 yards in 1 hour.
use a simple ratio:
30/10 = x/60 , notice 60 minutes = 1 hr
x = 60(30/10) = 180 ft
you do the conversion to yards, etc
