Question

Aidan walked 440 feet in one minute. Find his average rate in miles per hour.

Answer 1

Take into account the following equivalences as conversion factors:

1 mi = 5280 ft

1 h = 60 min

Then, you have:

`440(ft)/(\min)\cdot(1mi)/(5280ft)\cdot(60\min )/(1h)=5mph`

Hence, the average rate is 5 miles per hour
