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
(1 point)

To find the speed in feet per minute, we need to convert both miles and hours to feet and minutes respectively.
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
Therefore, the speed in feet per minute can be calculated as:
(100 miles/hour) x (5,280 feet/mile) ÷ (60 minutes/hour)
Simplifying:
(100 x 5,280) ÷ 60
528,000 ÷ 60
The speed in feet per minute is 8,800 feet per minute.
To convert the speed of a pickleball from miles per hour to feet per minute, we can follow these steps:
1. Convert miles to feet: Since there are 5,280 feet in 1 mile, we can multiply the speed by 5,280 to get the distance in feet.
100 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet/hour
2. Convert hours to minutes: Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can divide the distance in feet by 60 to get the speed in feet per minute.
528,000 feet/hour / 60 minutes/hour = 8,800 feet/minute
Therefore, the speed of a pickleball is 8,800 feet per minute.
To convert the speed of 100 miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to establish two conversion factors: one for miles to feet, and another for hours to minutes.
First, convert miles to feet:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
So, to convert 100 miles to feet, we multiply:
100 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 528,000 feet
Now, convert hours to minutes:
1 hour = 60 minutes
Since we have the speed in miles per hour, we need to multiply the speed by the conversion factor:
100 miles/hour * 60 minutes/hour = 6,000 minutes
Finally, divide the distance in feet by the time in minutes to find the speed in feet per minute:
528,000 feet / 6,000 minutes = 88 feet/minute
Therefore, the speed of the pickleball is 88 feet per minute.
