2. 19.84 feet ps

4. 45.36 feet ps

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct choice is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyrone determines it takes him 58.2 minutes to travel 30 miles to work, then he travels with speed

$\dfrac{30}{58.2}=\dfrac{300}{582}=\dfrac{50}{97}\ \text{miles per minute}.$

If 1 mile = 5,280 feet, then his speed is

$\dfrac{50}{97}\cdot 5280=\dfrac{264000}{97}\ \text{feet per minute}.$

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then his speed is

$\dfrac{264000}{97\cdot 60}=\dfrac{4400}{97}\approx 45.36\ \text{feet per second}.$
