Answer 1

Answer:

59 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of miles per hour to feet per second.

5280 feet = 1 mile

3600 seconds = 1 hour

Step 1: Convert from miles to feet

1 mile = 5280 feet

40 miles = x

Cross multiply

x = 5280 x 40

x = 211,200 feet

Step 2: Divide by 3600

211200 / 3600

= 58.67 rounded off to 59 feet per second.

Therefore, 40 miles per hour is 59 feet per second.
