Question

Marian is a sprinter, running short distances on the track team. She wants to find how fast she runs in miles per hour. What units should she start with? A) feet per second B) feet per minute C) miles per minute D) miles per second

Answer 1

A) feet per second

Explanation:

Marian should start with the units used to measure her performance. Very likely, her times will be measured in seconds. Her distances may very well be measured in yards if she runs a 50- or 100-yard dash. If she runs a 440-yard race (1/4 mile), miles per second may be appropriate units to start with.

In modern times, races are measured in meters, rather than feet or yards.

For this unfortunate question, my guess is "feet per second."
