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?

Answer 1

Aneesha is traveling at a rate of 4400 feet per second, which means that Morris is traveling a a rate of 4397 feet per second

Answer 2

70.33 feet per second ( approx )

Explanation:

Given,

The speed of Anneesha = 50 miles per hour,

1 mile = 5280 feet,

Also, 1 hour = 3600 seconds,

Thus, the speed of Annesha =
`(50* 5280)/(3600)` feet per sec

`=(264000)/(3600)`

`\approx 73.33\text{ feet per second}`

Now, Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha.

Therefore, the speed of Morris = 73.33 - 3 = 70.33 feet per second.
