Question

A train is traveling at a constant speed of 90 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 10 seconds? Remember that 1 mile is 5280 feet.

Answer 1

Hi

1 mile = 5280 feet  

at  90 mile per hour, you have  5280 *90  = 475 200 feets  

an hour is  60*60 = 3600 second  

so in 1 second the train travel  :  475 200 /3600 = 4752 /36 = 132 feets

so in 10 seconds  :  132*10 = 1320 feets.
