Unit Conversion and Rate Problems

The video tutorial explains how to convert unit rates by breaking down the process into two main conversions: miles to feet and hours to minutes. The instructor sets up fractions to facilitate these conversions, ensuring units cancel out appropriately. After converting miles to feet and hours to minutes, the final step involves calculating the unit rate of feet per minute using division. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between units and the importance of setting up conversions correctly.
