1. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
22 miles/hour = ______ feet/second
a. 0
b. 15
c. 1.5
d. 32.3
Answer: C?
Thank you in advance!
I meant answer D! Sorry!
Right!
To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to know the conversion factor between miles and feet and between hours and seconds.
1 mile is equal to 5280 feet.
1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.
To calculate the conversion rate, you divide the number of feet per mile (5280) by the number of seconds per hour (3600):
Conversion rate = 5280 feet / 3600 seconds
Now, let's apply this conversion rate to the given speed:
Speed in feet per second = 22 miles/hour * (5280 feet / 3600 seconds)
Simplifying this expression:
Speed in feet per second = (22 * 5280) / 3600
= 116160 / 3600
≈ 32.3 feet per second
So, the answer is d. 32.3 feet/second.
