Question

HELP!!

A cyclist rides his bike at a speed of miles per hour. What is this speed in feet per second? How many feet will the cyclist travel in seconds? In your computations, use the fact that mile is equal to feet. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

Lets convert

• 1mile=5280ft
• 1h=3600s

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 1mph`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto (5280)/(3600)ft/s`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 1.46ft/s`

If rounded

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 1.5ft/s`
