Answer:

60.3375 m/ per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

first multiply 1609 (the amount of meters in a mile) by 135( the total number of miles). this brings you to conclude there are a total of 217,215 meters in 135 miles.

So 135 mph = 217,215 meters per hour.

From here I took a simple route so as to not need a calculator.

217,215 meters = 60mins. (divide both sides by 2)

108,607.5 = 30mins. (divide both sides by 2)

54,303.75 = 15mins. (divide both sides by 15)

3620.25 = 1min

3620.25 = 60secs. (divide both sides by 60)

60.3375 = 1sec

60.3375 meters per second = 135miles per hr.
