Question

Aneesha travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha. Which is the best estimate of the speed Morris is traveling?

Answer 1

Answer:

70.33 feet per second ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The speed of Anneesha = 50 miles per hour,

1 mile = 5280 feet,

Also, 1 hour = 3600 seconds,

Thus, the speed of Annesha = $\frac{50\times 5280}{3600}$ feet per sec

$=\frac{264000}{3600}$

$\approx 73.33\text{ feet per second}$

Now, Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha.

Therefore, the speed of Morris = 73.33 - 3 = 70.33 feet per second.

Answer 2

Aneesha is traveling at a rate of 4400 feet per second, which means that Morris is traveling a a rate of 4397 feet per second
