Jimmy is traveling at a speed of 135 miles per hour (mph). What is his speed in feet per second? Include units in the calculation to show the unit conversion.
135 * 5,280 = 712,800 feet
60 * 60 = 3600 seconds/hour
712,800 / 3600 =

To convert from miles per hour (mph) to feet per second (ft/s), we need to use the following conversion factors:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
First, we'll convert Jimmy's speed from miles per hour to feet per hour:
135 mph * 5,280 feet/mile = 712,800 feet/hour
Next, we'll convert his speed from feet per hour to feet per second by dividing by the number of seconds in an hour:
712,800 feet/hour ÷ 3,600 seconds/hour = 198 feet/second
Therefore, Jimmy's speed is 198 feet per second.
