The whole problem here is convert units of [miles per hour]
into units of [feet per second].

(48 mile/hour) x (5,280 feet/mile) x (hour/3,600 sec) = <em>70.4 ft/sec</em>

In 5.4 sec, the car travels (5.4 x 70.4) = <em>380.16 feet</em> .

That's how far back from the wreck they have to go
to find Randy's missing parts.
