Question

A car is driving down a highway at a speed of 65 miles per hour. To the nearest second, how long wili it take the car to drive 100 yards? ( 1 mile = 5280 feet, 1 yard = 3 feet)

Answer 1

Answer:

3.1468 sec

Explanation:

We have given the speed of the car is 65 miles/hour

The distance traveled by the car = 100 yards

As it is given that 1 yard = 3 feet

So 100 yard =100×3=300 feet

As in question it is given that 1 mile =5280 feet

So 300 feet $=\frac{300}{5280}=0.0568miles$

Now time taken $=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{0.0568}{65}=8.7412\times 10^{-4}hour=3.1468sec$
