Question

Ackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the earest whole number.)

5,280 feet = 1 mile

Answer 1

Therefore, ackrabbits can reach speeds of approximately 59 feet per second.

Explanation:

First, we need to convert miles to feet:

40 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 211,200 feet/hour

Then, we need to convert hours to seconds:

1 hour = 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 3,600 seconds/hour

211,200 feet/hour / 3,600 seconds/hour = 58.67 feet/second

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:

59 feet/second

Therefore, ackrabbits can reach speeds of approximately 59 feet per second.
