Answer:

The speed of the insect is 2700 yard/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ 1 foot = 1/3 yard

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 15 feet = 1/3 × yard ⇒ yard = 15 × 3 = 45 yards

∴ 1 minute = 1/60 hour

∵ The insect speed = 15 feet / min

∴ The insect speed = 45 ÷ 1/60 = 2700 yard /hour

Answer:

he correct answer option is 300 yd/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an insect is moving at a speed of 15 feet per minute and we are to covert this unit of speed into yards per hour.

For that, we will use this unit multiplier: [tex]\frac{1 yard}{3feet}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{60 min}{1 hr}[/tex]

[tex]15\frac{feet}{min}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1 yard}{3feet}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{60 min}{1 hr}[/tex]

[tex]15[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1*60yard}{3*1hour}[/tex]

[tex]300\frac{yard}{hour}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer option is 300 yard/hour.
