Question

An Escalator Moves At The Rate Of 2 Feet Per Second. At What Rate Does The Escalator Move In Miles Per Hour?

A)0.02 mph
B)0.34 mph
C)0.68 mph
D)1.36 mph

Answer 1

1.36mph

Explanation:

The escalator is moving at 2ft/s, lets convert this to miles/second.

2ft/s = 0.000378788miles/s.

Now that we have the miles/second lets multiply this value by 3600 to get the miles/h, because there are 3600 seconds in an hour.

2ft/s=1.3636368miles/h

Or approximately 1.36miles/h.
