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? 1 mile = 5,280 feet

Answer 1

Aneesha speed in feet/s.

50 miles/h*(5280 feet /1mile)*(1h/3600 s)=73.33 feet/s

speed (Morris)=speed (Aneesha)-3 feet/s
speed (Morrris)=73.33 feet/s-3 feet/s=70.33 feet/s.

Speed Morris=70.33 feet/s.
