Question

a student is reading a book at about 370 words per minute. convert this rate to words per hour

Answer 1

This would convert to 22,200 words an hour.

Answer 2

We want to do a change of units of a rate, from words per minute to words per hour.

We will find that the answer is 22,200 words per hour.

The rate that we need to modify is:

370 words/minute

So the time is in the denominator.

Also, remember that:

1 hour  = 60 minutes.

Then:

1 minute = (1/60) hours.

Using the above relation, we can replace the "minute" in the denominator by (1/60) hours, so we get:

370 words/minute = 370 words/((1/60) hours.) = 60*370 words/hour

                               22,200 words/hour.

Then the rate is 22,200 words per hour.
