Question

A giraffe can run 32 miles per hour. what is this speed in feet per second

Answer 1

We have,
1 mile = 5280 feet
32 miles = 5280 * 32
= 168960 feet

1 hour = (60 * 60) = 3600 seconds

Now,
Converting 32 miles per hour to feet per second.


`(32~miles)/(1~hour)`


`= (168960 ~feet)/(3600~ seconds)` because 32 miles is 168960 feet and 1 hour is 3600 seconds

`= (46.93~feet)/(1~second)`

So, the answer is 46.93 feet per second
