Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem requires that we find other units besides the given one

1. ft/sec

2. km/h

3.m/s

1. converting to ft/sec

1 mile is 5280 ft

$=\frac{45mile}{hour}* \frac{5280feet}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hours}{3600 secs} \\\\=66 ft/sec$

2. converting to km/h

1 mile is 1.60934

$=\frac{45mile}{hour}* \frac{1.60934km}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hours}{1hour} \\\\=72.42km/h$

3. converting to m/s

1 mile is 1609.34

$=\frac{45mile}{hour}* \frac{1609.34km}{1 mile} *\frac{1 hours}{3600 sec} \\\\=20.11m/s$
