Question

A train travels 110 miles per hour. How fast does the
train travel in feet per second?

Answer 1

Given :

A train travels 110 miles per hour.

To Find :

How fast does the train travel in feet per second.

Solution :

We know, 1 mile = 5280 feet .

1 hour = 3600 s.

So, speed in feet per second is :

`s=(110\ miles * 5280\ (feet)/(miles) )/(1\ hour* 3600\ (s)/(hour))\\\\\\s=(110* 5280)/(3600)\ feet/s\\\\s=161.33\ feet/s`

Hence, this is the required solution.
