To convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to consider the conversion factors given:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
We can use these conversion factors to set up a proportion:
100 miles = x feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
Solving for x, we can cross multiply and divide:
100 miles * 5,280 feet = x feet * 1 hour
x = (100 miles * 5,280 feet) / (1 hour)
x = 528,000 feet / 1
x = 528,000 feet
Thus, the speed of the pickleball in feet per minute is 528,000 feet per minute.
So, the correct answer is:
528,000 feet per minute
To convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to use the given conversion factors:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
First, let's convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per hour:
100 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/1 mile = 528,000 feet/hour
Next, we convert feet per hour to feet per minute:
528,000 feet/hour * 1 hour/60 minutes = 8,800 feet/minute
Therefore, the speed of the pickleball in feet per minute is 8,800 feet per minute.
So, the correct answer is:
8,800 feet per minute
To convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per minute, we need to use the conversion factors provided:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes
Given that the pickleball moves at a speed of 100 miles per hour, we can set up the conversion as follows:
100 miles/hour * (5,280 feet/1 mile) * (1 hour/60 minutes)
First, let's convert the miles to feet by multiplying by the conversion factor:
100 miles/hour * (5,280 feet/1 mile) = 528,000 feet/hour
Next, let's convert from hours to minutes by multiplying by the conversion factor:
528,000 feet/hour * (1 hour/60 minutes) = 8,800 feet/minute
Therefore, the speed of the pickleball in feet per minute is 8,800 feet per minute.
