Question
  1. A glacier in Republica was observed to advance (h)5______ inches in a (i)____71_______ minute period. At that rate, how many feet will the glacier advance in one year? Use dimensional analysis. Round your result to the nearest hundred. Use only the unit conversion reference sheet provided with the Numeracy Unit to find relevant conversion factors.                                              

There is more than one way to complete the problem using dimensional analysis. Fill in as many fractions as you need to show your process. If you do not need all of the fractions provided, leave some blank. If you need more fractions, include them in the box below with your calculations. Don’t forget to round your result to the nearest hundred.
