Answer:

B)80.67 feet per second

Explanation:

Given: Driving at a rate of 55 miles/hour

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

Now we have to convert miles per hour in feet per seconds

= (55*5280) / 1*3600

= 290400/3600

= 80.67 feet per second.

Therefore, answer is B)80.67 feet per second
