Question

a pronghorn analope can run at speeds of about 59 miles per hour what is that speed in feet per second to the nearest whole number (remember that there are 5280 feet in a mile 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in a hour

Answer 1

87 ft/sec

Explanation:

mile/hr * hr/ seconds * feet/mile = feet per second

( see how 'mile' and 'hr' cancel out and you are left with feet/sec ?)

Now, put in the numbers :

59 * 1/3600 * 5280 = 86.533 = 87 ft/sec
