Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion factor from miles per hour to kilometers per hour is 1.609344.

Hence;

To convert 75mi/h to kilometers per hour,

75mi/h * 1.609344 = 120.7 kilometers per hour

b)

To convert 75mi/h to feet per second

Since

1 mile per hour = 1.46667 foot per second

75mi/h = 75 * 1.46667 = 110 feet per second
