by the same amount.)
Round to the nearest thousandth.
One mile per hour is equivalent to
ao feet/second.

Answer 1

1 miles/hour = 1.467·feet/second

Explanation:

The given measurement unit are;

88 feet/second = 60 miles/hour

The number of feet per second that is equal to one mile per hour is found as follows;

88 feet/second = 60 miles/hour

To have a unit measure of one mile per hour , we divide both sides of the equation by 60 to get

(88 feet/second)/60 = (60 miles/hour)/60

Which gives;

(88/60 feet/second) = (60/60 miles/hour) = 1 miles/hour

22/15 × feet/second = 1 miles/hour

1.46667·feet/second = 1 miles/hour

Rounding to the nearest thousandth gives;

1.467·feet/second = 1 miles/hour

The number of feet per second that is in 1 mile per hour is 1.467·feet/second.
