William is traveling at a rate of 75 miles per hour. How fast is William traveling in feet per second?
75 mi/hr * 5280ft/mi * 1hr/3600s = 110 ft/s
thanks
Steve is wrong. It's 5280/3600= 1.46666666667 * 75= 110
Steve's work makes no sense and is again incorrect.
no the first person is right.
To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to know the conversion factors:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 hour = 3600 seconds
To find the speed in feet per second, multiply the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor:
Speed in feet per second = Speed in miles per hour * 5280 feet/mile * 1 hour/3600 seconds
Now we can calculate William's speed in feet per second:
Speed in feet per second = 75 miles/hour * 5280 feet/mile * 1 hour/3600 seconds
Simplifying the equation:
Speed in feet per second = (75 * 5280)/(3600)
Therefore, William is traveling at a velocity of approximately 110 feet per second.
