5,280 feet = 1 mile
feet per second
the answer is 59

Answer 2

59 feet per second

Explanation:

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour.

As we know 1 mile = 5,280 feet and

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Speed of Jackrabbits in one second = (5,280 × 40) / 3600

= 211,200 / 3600

= 58.67 ≈ 59 feet/second

Jackrabbits' speed is 59 feet per second.
