Question

John takes one step every second, and each step is 33 inches long. How many miles per hour is John walking, given that 5280 feet = 1 mile? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest thousandths

Answer 1

1.875 mi/h

Explanation:

We first convert 5280 feet to inches which is 63360 inches. Next, we divide 63360 inches by 33 inches which is 1920. To find this in minutes, we do 1920/60 which equals 32 minutes. Last, we divide 60 by 32 and get 1.875. Therefore, John walks 1.875 miles per hour.
