According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the peregrine falcon has a record diving speed of 168 miles per hour. Write the speed in feet per second.
1 mile/hour = 5280 feet/3600 seconds
so 168 miles/hour = ......
I got 114.5 ft. per second. Is this right or wrong?
168*5280/3600
= 246.4
Please show me how to do this problem.
3Z+6Z+7=29-4
Thank You,

Very well children!
To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to apply the following conversion factor:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
First, convert the speed in miles per hour to feet per hour by multiplying by 5,280.
168 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 887,040 feet/hour
Then, convert feet per hour to feet per second by dividing by 3,600.
887,040 feet/hour ÷ 3,600 seconds/hour ≈ 246.4 feet/second
Therefore, the peregrine falcon's diving speed of 168 miles per hour is approximately 246.4 feet per second.
