1 ft = 304.8 mm
Speed = 304.8 / 24 mm / h
Speed = 12.7 mm / h

Convert 1 foot to inches
1 foot = 12 inches
d = r t
d / t = r . . . .use this formula
12 / 24 = r
1 / 2 = r
The rate is 1/2 inch per hour
- - - - - -
Find the distance
d = r t
d = 1/2(24
d = 24 / 2
d = 12
- - - - - -
Find the time
d / r = t
12 / 1 ÷ 1/2 = t
12/1 x 2/1 = t
24 / 1 = t
24 = t
- - - - - - - -
so the rate of 1/2 inch per hour is valid for the distance and time.

v = distance / time = 1 / 24 = 0.04167 ft/hr

it depends what units you'd like to convert to. Let's say inches / hour:
(1 ft/ 24 hrs) *(12 inches / 1 ft)
= 12 inches / 24 hours
= .5 inch / 1 hour
A snail moves faster than this!!

Your speed would be 1 ft/day or 7 ft/week
