Explanation:

Givens

r = 14 miles / hour

Problem

Convert to feet per second.

Solution

Later on, you will learn how to solve these kinds of conversion problems using a method called Unit Analysis. Since you likely have not been taught this method, will just use proportions.

1 mile = 5280 feet

14 miles = x Cross multiply

x = 14 * 5280 Simplify

x = 73920 feet

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Answer

r = 73920 feet / 3600 seconds

r = 20.533 feet / secpmd
