Use the conversion factor that 1 foot is roughly equal to 0.3 meters.

40

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by writing the given statement. 12m/min& ≈ ft/minConverting between meters (m) and foot (ft) will involve using a conversion factor. 1ft/0.3m Multiplying 12m by this conversion factor will convert it to foot.
12 m * 1ft/0.3m

40ft
Because the time units are the same, they will remain the same. Then, 12 meters per minute is the same as approximately 40 feet per minute.
