Answer:
The answer is 198 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
You convert 45 miles/ hour to feet/ hour:
45 × 5,280 = 237,600 feet/ hour
Now you remember that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. We divide 237,600 feet per hour by 60 to get feet/ minute:
237,600 ÷ 60 = 3,960 feet per minute
You just have to divide 3,960 by 60 to get back to feet/ second:
3,960 ÷ 60 = 66 feet per second
Now you know how fast the car can travel (in feet) in a second. Now to find out how many feet it travels in 3 seconds, you just multiply 66 by 3:
66 × 3 = 198 feet which is the final answer.
