Windsurfer 1

Convert all measurements to the same.

W1= 5 meters in 1 second

W2= 720 inhes in 1 minute

3.3 inches in 1 meter

Therefore:

W2= 720/3.3=218 meters

W2= 218m approx. in 1 minute

60 seconds in 1 minute

Therefore:

W1= 5x60=300

W1= 300 meters in 1 minute

W1= 300m in 1 minute

W2= 218m approx. in 1 minute
