Answer:

1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds

Explanation:

Given


88 ft/s= 60 miles/hr

Required

Determine the equivalent of 1 mile/hour


88\ ft/s= 60\ miles/hr

Express 60 as 60 * 1


88\ ft/s= 60 * 1\ mile/hr

Divide both sides by 60


(88\ ft/s)/(60)= (60 * 1\ mile/hr)/(60)


(88\ ft/s)/(60)= 1\ mile/hr

Reorder


1\ mile/hr = (88\ ft/s)/(60)

Divide 88 by 60


1\ mile/hr = 1.46666666667\ ft/s

Approximate to 3 significant figures


1\ mile/hr = 1.47\ ft/s

Hence;

1 mile/hour is equivalent to 1.47 feet/seconds
