Question

A hot air balloon was rising at a rate of 493 feet per minute (ft/min). Use the following facts to convert this speed to meters per second (m/s). 1 inch (in.) = 2.54 cm 1 m = 100 cm 1 foot (ft) = 12 in 1 min = 60 sec

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 metres per second

Step-by-step explanation:

First to see how many feet in 1 metre we will divide 2.54 that's cm in inch with 100cm that's 1 metre so the answer is 39 (approx) and then divided it with 12 as there are 12 inches in 1 feet so the answer was 3.28 feet in 1 metre then we need to divide 493 with 3.28 as we need to know that how many metres are there in 493 feet and it came as 150 (approx) and then after dividing it with 60 to know the distance per second the answer came as 2.5 m/s.
