Question

If a dragon fly flies a rate of 60 miles in one hour how many feet is this per second

Answer 1

60 Miles: 1 Hour is the starting ratio.

Since a mile contains 5,280 feet, we rewrite the ratio accordingly: (60 times 5,280)

316,800 Feet: 1 Hour

There are 3,600 seconds in an hour; 316,800 Feet:3,600 Seconds

Dividing 3,600 on each side gives you 88.

Therefore, the answer is 88 feet. (Per second)

Answer 2

60 miles per hour = exactly 88 feet per second.
