Convert foot / hour to yard / minute

Learn how to convert 1 foot / hour to yard / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{y a r d}{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 e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r}) = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{y a r d}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{0.9144}{60.0} (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{0.9144}{60.0} (\frac{m}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times \frac{0.9144}{60.0} \times (\frac{m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \cdot \frac{0.9144}{60.0} \cdot (\frac{m}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m}{s}) = x \times \frac{0.9144}{60.0} \times (\frac{m}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times \frac{0.9144}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.9144}{60.0} = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{0.9144})

x \times \frac{0.9144}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{0.9144} = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{60.0}{0.9144}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.9144 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 0.9144} = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9144}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.048 \times 10^{- 1} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9144}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 3.048 \times 10^{- 1} \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 0.9144}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 4} \times 3.048 \times 60.0}{3.6 \times 0.9144}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0055555556 \approx 5.5556 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{f o o t}{h o u r}) \approx 5.5556 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{y a r d}{m i n u t e})
