Question

Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. How fast is this in feet per second? Round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

59 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

$40 mph = \frac{40*5280feet}{1hour} \\40mph = 211200 feet/per/hour$

to convert 211200 feet per hour to feet per second, we need to know how many seconds are in one hour

60seconds * 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

$211200/3600 = 58.66666666666.... =59$
