Question

Sergei's car was clocked in a quarter mile race at 146.67 miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 215.12 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Sergei's car was clocked in a quarter mile race at 146.67 miles per hour.

How many feet per second is this to the nearest hundredth if there are 5280 feet in one mile?

From the above question

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minutes = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

We are to convert 146.67 miles per hour = feet per second

Hence:

146.67 miles /1 ft × 5280 feet/1 miles × 1 hr/3600 seconds

= 146.67 × 5280 feet/3600 seconds

= 774417.6 feet / 3600 seconds

= 215.116 feet per second.

Approximately = 215.12 feet per second

Option C is correct
