a model airplane flies 18 feet in 2 seconds what is the airplanes speed in miles per hour round you answer to the nearest hundredth how would i do this
distance over time.
18/2=9
so is traverling at 9 feet per second multiply by the amount need to turn one second into an hour and u will have your answer.60 x 60
just a clue to help.
To calculate the speed of the model airplane in miles per hour, we first need to convert the distance from feet to miles and the time from seconds to hours.
1. Convert feet to miles:
Since there are 5280 feet in a mile, we can divide the distance by 5280 to get the distance in miles.
18 feet ÷ 5280 = 0.00341 miles
2. Convert seconds to hours:
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, we divide the time by 3600 (60 x 60) to get the time in hours.
2 seconds ÷ 3600 = 0.00056 hours
3. Calculate the speed in miles per hour:
Now, we can divide the converted distance by the converted time to calculate the speed in miles per hour.
0.00341 miles ÷ 0.00056 hours = 6.089 miles per hour
Rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth, the model airplane's speed is approximately 6.09 miles per hour.
