Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 72 miles per hour. What is the car's rate in feet per second? How many feet will the car travel in 2 seconds? In your computations,
use the fact that I mile is equal to 5280 feet. Do not round your answers,

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of travel is 105.6 feet per second, so 211.2 feet could be travelled in 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take 5280 times 72 it equals 380160 which is the total amount of feet travelled in an hour so you divide it by 60 giving you 6336 which is the total feet travelled in 1 minute and you divide it 1 more time to get 105.6 which is the total feet travelled in 1 second. Hope this helps!
