we know that

$1\ mile=5,280\ feet$

$1\ hour=3,600\ sec$

1) convert miles per hour to feet per hour

$40\ miles/hour=40*5,280=211,200\ feet/hour$

2) convert feet per hour to feet per second

$211,200\ feet/hour=211,200/3,600=58.67 feet/sec$

Round to the nearest whole number-------> $59 feet/sec$

therefore

the answer is

$59 feet/sec$
