The posted speed limit on many U.S. highways is 65 miles per hour. What is this speed in feet per second?

My answer was 5720 feet per second.
The other answers that would be a possibility are: (A)3600 feet per second, (B)95 1/3 feet per second, (C) 5720 feet per second, which is the one I picked, and (D) 343200 feet per second.

Is my answer correct?

No.

1 mile = 5,280 feet

1 hour = 3,600 seconds

So the answer would be 95 1/3. the figuring out on this would be 65 x 3600 devided by 5280 and that is how I got this answer.

Yes. 95 1/3 is correct.

To convert from miles per hour to feet per second, you need to multiply the speed in miles per hour by a conversion factor. The conversion factor is derived from the fact that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.

So, to convert 65 miles per hour to feet per second, you can set up the following equation:

65 miles per hour * (5280 feet per mile) / (1 hour per 3600 seconds) = X feet per second

Simplifying this equation, you get:

65 * 5280 / 3600 = X

By evaluating this expression, X equals approximately 95.33 feet per second.

Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 95 1/3 feet per second, not 5720 feet per second.
