Answer:

927.3 feet per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

first determine how many seconds are in one hour

there are 60 seconds in one minute and 60 minutes in one hour

so there are 60x60, or 3600 seconds in one hour

now you can create a proportion of inches/seconds = inches/seconds

let 'x' = inches per hour

34/11 = x/3600

cross-multiply to get:

11x = 3600x34

11x = 122,400

x = 122,400/11

x = 11,127.3 inches per hour

to determine how many feet per hour you must divide 11,127.3 inches by 12

this equals 927.3 feet per hour
