Convert foot / (minute • second) to inch / (hour • minute)

Learn how to convert 1 foot / (minute • second) to inch / (hour • minute) step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e}) = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s q u a r e s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \cdot \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s^{2}}) = x \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} \times (\frac{m}{s^{2}})

Conversion Equation

\frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} = x \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{0.3048}{2.16 \times 10^{5}} = x \times \frac{0.0254}{2.16 \times 10^{5}}

Simplify

0.3048 = x \times 0.0254

Switch sides

x \times 0.0254 = 0.3048

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.0254})

x \times 0.0254 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254}

Cancel

x \times 0.0254 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254} = 0.3048 \times \frac{1.0}{0.0254}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.3048}{0.0254}

Solve

x

x = 12

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{m i n u t e \times s e c o n d}) = 12 (\frac{i n c h}{h o u r \times m i n u t e})
