An alien rocketship is traveling at a speed of 0.042 miles per minute. At this speed, how many inches will it travel in 1 hour? Round to the nearest thousandth.

0.042milesminute⋅52801feetmile⋅121inchesfoot⋅601minuteshour

I entered 160000 and it did not accept and the help did not have the rounding step.

Thanks. I am very grateful for your program! Thanks again!
