Answer:

95.33

Step-by-step explanation:

65 mph means in 1 hour you drive 65 miles.

To find out how many feet you drive in 1 second you need to convert the above in terms of feet and secs

1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute has 60 secs

So 1 hour has 60* 60 secs = 3600 secs.

1 mile - 5280 feet

65 miles = 65*5280 feet

So in 3600 secs you are driving 65 * 5280 feet

or in 1 sec you can drive (65 * 5280)/3600

which is equal to 95.33 ft

or you are driving at 95.33 ft/sec
