im sorry for explaining it poorly, the image attatched is the form im supposed to answer in, but the question is 

Snails travel at a rate of approximately 0.013 meters per second.  Assuming this snail has an incredible sense of direction and stamina, how long will it take a snail to make the same journey?  That is, change 1171.1 miles into hours of snail travel.  USE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS TO MAKE YOUR CALCULATION!  Include units at each step.

# Converting Rates Using Dimensional Analysis

## Example Problems:

### 7) Convert 55 miles per hour into meters per second.

To convert from miles per hour to meters per second, we use the following conversion factors:
- 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
- 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
- 1 minute = 60 seconds

**Calculation:**
\[
55 \text{ miles/hour} \times \frac{1.609 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ mile}} \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ min}} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} = \frac{88495}{3600} \approx 24.58 \text{ m/s}
\]

### 8) Change 150 feet per second into miles per hour.

### 9) Convert 15,000 gallons per month into liters per year.

This page serves as a guide for students to practice converting units of measurement using dimensional analysis techniques.

hello im sorry to bother again, im requiered to answer this question in this form. will you be able to solve it in this form, ive tried doing it but i have no luck. 

**Converting Rates Using Dimensional Analysis**

7) Convert 55 miles per hour into meters per second.

Calculation steps:
- Start with 55 miles per hour: \( \frac{55 \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}} \).
- Convert miles to kilometers: \( 1.609 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{miles}} \).
- Convert kilometers to meters: \( 1000 \frac{\text{m}}{\text{km}} \).
- Convert hours to minutes: \( \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ min}} \).
- Convert minutes to seconds: \( \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}} \).

Multiply these together:
\[ 
\frac{55 \times 1.609 \times 1000}{1 \times 1 \times 60 \times 60}
\]

This results in:
\[ 
\frac{88495}{3600} = 24.58 \, \text{m/sec} 
\]

8) Change 150 feet per second into miles per hour.

9) Convert 15,000 gallons per month into liters per year.
