Question

Peregrine Falcons have been known to dive at a rate of 200 miles per hour. How many miles per second is this when rounded to the nearest thousandth?

Answer 1

`0.056\ (miles)/(second)`

Explanation:

we know that

The rate is equal to

`200\ (miles)/(hour)`

Remember that

`1\ hour=3,600\ seconds`

substitute

`200\ (miles)/(hour)=(200/3,600)\ (miles)/(seconds)=0.056\ (miles)/(second)`
