Answer:

.25 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

.5 ft

-----------

day

We need to get to inches

1 ft = 12 inches

.5 ft          12 inches      

----------- * ------------

day             1 ft  

We also need to convert days to minutes

1 day = 24 hours

.5 ft           12 inches             1 day          

----------- * ------------   * -------------    

day             1 ft       24 hours      

6 inches

-------------

24 hours

.25 inches per hour

We have to convert 0.5ft/day to in/hr

So

  • 1ft=12in
  • 1day=24h

So

Convert

  • 0.5×(12/24)
  • 0.5(1/2)
  • 0.25ft/hr
