Question

an object is moving at a speed of 49 yards per week. express this speed in feet per minute. round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
*note: you must use these exact conversion factors to get this question right.
distance / length | time
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in) | 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (sec)
1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft) | 1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)
1 mile (mi) = 5280 feet (ft) | 1 day (day) = 24 hours (hr)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) | 1 week (week) = 7 days (days)
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) | 1 month (month) = 30 days (days)
1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) | 1 year (year) = 365 days (days)
1 foot (ft) = 0.305 meters (m)
1 mile (mi) =

Explanation:

Step1: Convert yards to feet

Since 1 yard = 3 feet, then 49 yards = 49×3 = 147 feet. So the speed is 147 feet per week.

Step2: Convert weeks to minutes

1 week = 7 days, 1 day = 24 hours, 1 hour = 60 minutes. So 1 week = 7×24×60 = 10080 minutes.

Step3: Calculate the speed in feet per minute

The speed in feet per minute is $\frac{147}{10080}\approx0.0146$ feet per minute. Rounding to the nearest hundred - th, the speed is 0.01 feet per minute.

Answer:

0.01 feet per minute
