Answer 2

58.67 feet per second.

Explanation:

We have been given that Jackrabbit are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. We are asked to represent this speed in feet per second.

We know that 1 mile equals 5280 feet.

We also know that 1 hour equals 3600 seconds.

`\text{Speed of jackrabbit}=\frac{\text{40 miles}}{\text{Hour}}* \frac{\text{5280 feet}}{\text{Mile}}* \frac{\text{1 hour}}{\text{3600 sec}}`

`\text{Speed of jackrabbit}=\frac{40 *\text{5280 feet}}{\text{3600 sec}}`

`\text{Speed of jackrabbit}=\frac{211200\text{ feet}}{\text{3600 sec}}`

`\text{Speed of jackrabbit}=\frac{58.67\text{ feet}}{\text{3600 sec}}`

Therefore, the speed of jackrabbit is 58.67 feet per second.
