Question

Aneesha travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha. Which is the best estimate of the speed Morris is traveling?

1 mile = 5,280 feet

Answer 1

is the answer 47 mph

Answer 2

48 miles per hour is the speed of Morris

Explanation:

Aneesha is travelling at a rate of = 50 miles/hour

Morris is travelling with 3 feet per second less than Aneesha

Now we will convert feet per second to miles per hours to get the speed of Morris.

`\frac{3\text{feet}}{\text{second}}=(3((1)/(5280)))/(((1)/(3600))) \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}`

=
`(3(3600))/((5280))=2.05` miles per hour

Now we know that Morris is travelling 2.05 miles per hour less than Aleesha

So speed of Morris = 50 - 2.05 = 47.95 miles per hour

Therefore, approximate speed of Morris is 48 miles per hour.
