Question

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 10 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

880 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First! We have to establish how many feet the car travels per hour.

60 (number of miles per hour) x 5280 (number of feet in a mile) = 316,800 (number of feet in an hour)

Next, since we know that there are 60 minutes in an hour we are going to divide our "number of feet in an hour" by 60 to get the "number of feet in a minute"

316,800 ÷ 60 = 5280

Once again, we are going to divide our "number of feet in a minute" by 60 to get the "number of feet per second".

5280 ÷ 60 = 88

Finally! We will multiple our "number of feet per second" by 10 to get how many feet the car can travel in 10 seconds.

88 × 10 = 880

So! Our car can travel 880 feet in 10 seconds.

Hope this Helps! :)
