Question

1 hour= 3,600 seconds and 1 mile=5,280 feet. Make a conjecture about how you would convert a speed of 15 miles per hour to feet per second. Then convert. Please help answer thx

Answer 1

15 miles per hour X 5280 feet per mile X 1 hour / 3600 seconds = 22 feet per second. Hope that helped a bit!

Answer 2

I don't get it, everyones answers all say 22 ft/s. But I don't know how you get that from MULTIPLYING.

Answer 3

I have been stuck on this question for 2 hours

Answer 4

love it thx for help

:)

Answer 5

I don't understand how you got that. When i multiply that i get a really small fraction.

Answer 6

sorry, these ppl aren't explaining it very well, so look, 15m x 5,280 = how many feet 15m is which means 15 m is 79,200 ft. then you divide 3,600 seconds (the amount of seconds in an hour) that equals 22. so the last part is division. not multiplication.

Answer 7

[15 m/h] multiply by[ 5280 ft/miles] multiply by [1h/3, 600 s] = 22 ft / s

Answer 8

Could someone be a bit more specific about what you do? Cuz I do 15x5,280=79,200 then what?

Answer 9

This helps a lot. Thank you!

Answer 10

(15 mi/h) x (5,280 ft/mi) x (1h/3,600s) = 22ft/s
