1).   1   mile  =  63360   inch    ⇒  1   mile  =      63360    12     feet    ⇒  1   mile  =  5280   feetNow,   1   hour  =  60   minutes    ∴  1   mile/hr  =      5280    60     feet/minutes    ⇒  1   mile/hr  =  88   feet/minHence,   40   mile/hr  =  (  40  ×  88  )   feet/min    ⇒  40   mile/hr  =  3520   feet/min2). The dimension of rectangular closet is:  length   =  60   inches    width   =  78   inchesNow the area of the closet is:  A  =  length   ×   width    ⇒  A  =  60  ×  78   square inches    ⇒  A  =  4680   sq. inchesNow:   1   sq. feet  =  144   sq.inch    ⇒  1   sq.inch  =      1    144     sq.feet    ⇒  4680   sq.inch  =  32.5   sq.feetHence 32.5 sq.feet of flooring needs to buy
