Question

The dwarf seahorse hippocampus zosterae swims at a rate of 52.68 feet per hour.convert this speed to ines per minute

Answer 1

52.68 feet per hour = 10.536 inches per minutes

Further explanation

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

$1 ~ foot = 30.48 ~ cm$

$1 ~ inch = 2.54 ~ cm$

$1 ~ foot = 12 ~ inches$

$\boxed {52.68 ~ feet = 52.68 \times 12 ~ inches = 632.16 ~ inches}$

$1 ~ day = 24 ~ hours$

$\boxed {1 ~ hour = 60 ~ minutes}$

If the dwarf seahorse hippocampus zosterae swims at a rate of 52.68 feet per hour , then :

$52.68 ~ feet/h = \frac{52.68 ~ feet}{1 ~ hour}$

$52.68 ~ feet/h = \frac{52.68 \times 12 ~ inches}{60 ~ minutes}$

$52.68 ~ feet/h = \frac{632.16 ~ inches}{60 ~ minutes}$

$\large {\boxed {52.68 ~ feet/h = 10.536 ~ inches/min} }$
