Question

an object is moving at a speed of 50 meters per day. express this speed in feet per week. round your answer to the nearest whole number.
*note: you must use these exact conversion factors to get this question right.
distance / length\ttime
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)\t1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (sec)
1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)\t1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)
1 mile (mi) = 5280 feet (ft)\t1 day (day) = 24 hours (hr)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)\t1 week (week) = 7 days (days)
1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)\t1 month (month) = 30 days (days)
1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)\t1 year (year) = 365 days (days)
1 foot (ft) = 0.305 meters (m)\t
1 mile (mi) = 1.609 kilometers (km)\t

Explanation:

Step1: Find meters per week

First, we know the speed is 50 meters per day. To find the distance in meters per week, we multiply by the number of days in a week (7 days). So, the distance in meters per week is $50\,\text{m/day} \times 7\,\text{days/week} = 350\,\text{m/week}$.

Step2: Convert meters to feet

We are given that 1 foot = 0.305 meters. To convert meters to feet, we use the conversion factor. If $1\,\text{ft} = 0.305\,\text{m}$, then $1\,\text{m} = \frac{1}{0.305}\,\text{ft}$. So, to convert 350 meters to feet, we multiply 350 by $\frac{1}{0.305}$.

So, the speed in feet per week is $350\,\text{m/week} \times \frac{1\,\text{ft}}{0.305\,\text{m}}$.

Calculating this: $\frac{350}{0.305} \approx 1147.54$ (rounded to the nearest whole number is 1148).

Answer:

1148
