Question

A giraffe can run 32 miles per hour. what is this speed in feet per second

Answer 1

We have,
1 mile = 5280 feet
32 miles = 5280 * 32
              = 168960 feet

1 hour = (60 * 60) = 3600 seconds

Now,
Converting 32 miles per hour to feet per second.

$\frac{32~miles}{1~hour}$

$= \frac{168960 ~feet}{3600~ seconds}$    because 32 miles is 168960                                                                                         feet and 1 hour is 3600                                                                                                 seconds
$= \frac{46.93~feet}{1~second}$

So, the answer is 46.93 feet per second
