Answer 1

Explanation:

The solution to this problem requires that we find other units besides the given one

1. ft/sec

2. km/h

3.m/s

1. converting to ft/sec

1 mile is 5280 ft

`=(45mile)/(hour)* (5280feet)/(1 mile) *(1 hours)/(3600 secs) \\\\=66 ft/sec`

2. converting to km/h

1 mile is 1.60934

`=(45mile)/(hour)* (1.60934km)/(1 mile) *(1 hours)/(1hour) \\\\=72.42km/h`

3. converting to m/s

1 mile is 1609.34

`=(45mile)/(hour)* (1609.34km)/(1 mile) *(1 hours)/(3600 sec) \\\\=20.11m/s`
