Question

A car travels at an average speed of 60 mph on a trip what is the car speed in feet per second

Answer 1

Answer:   88 Feet Per Second

Step-by-step explanation:  

Firstly you need to know 3 things:  

> 60 mph = 60 Miles Per Hour  

> 1 Hour = 60 mins = 60*60 = 3600 seconds  

> 1 Mile = 5280 feet  

Next you can change the miles to feet and hours to seconds.  

60 mi/ 1 hour = 60*5280/ 3600 = 316800ft/ 3600sec  

Now time to reduce that big fraction! (Or in this case just divide by 3600 sec)  

316800ft/ 3600sec  

= 88ft/1sec  

= 88 Feet Per Second  

Hope that helps!
