To answer this question, we need to transform each of the values into the corresponding other units:

• Inches ---> Feet

,

• Week ---> minutes

And we also have here a ratio:

• Inches/week ---> Feet/minute.

Then we can proceed as follows:

We know that the conversion between inches and feet is:

[tex]1ft=12in[/tex]

Then

[tex]1in=\frac{1}{12}ft[/tex]

If we have 9,400 inches, then:

[tex]9400in=\frac{9400}{12}ft\Rightarrow9400in=783ft+\frac{1}{3}ft=783.33333333ft[/tex]

We know that:

[tex]1\text{hour}=60\min [/tex]

In one day we have 24 hours, then:

[tex]24\text{hours}=24\cdot60\min =1440\min [/tex]

Then we have 1440 minutes in a day. A week has 7 days. Therefore, we will have:

[tex]1440\frac{\min}{day}\cdot7days=10080\min [/tex]

Therefore, we have that there are 10,080 minutes in one week.

Now, to find the ratio of feet per minute, we need to divide:

[tex]\frac{783\frac{1}{3}ft}{10080\min}=0.0777116402116\frac{ft}{\min }[/tex]

In summary, we can say that the object moves:

[tex]0.0777116402116\frac{ft}{\min }[/tex]
