How do I set up this math problem?

Question

I'm doing conversion of rates. I need to convert 6 ft/sec into x miles/hour. I'm not sure how to set the problem up.

Answer 1

just get feet into miles and seconds into hours

6ft/sec = x miles/60min

6ft/sec=x miles/3600sec

figure out how many feet are in one mile and fill in the blanks

Answer 2

First, figure out how many feet per hour.  

     6ft per second = _____ ft per hour.

Then convert the number of feet into miles.

Other hints...

     3600 secs = 1 hour

     _____ ft = 1 mile (you can find this out!)

Answer 3

there r 3600 sec in an hour and 5,280 ft in a mile.

peace...
