Question

A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches
132
feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutist fall during
5
seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that
1
meter is equal to
3.3
feet. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

$\bf \cfrac{132ft}{1sec}\cdot \cfrac{1m}{3.3ft}\implies \cfrac{132\cdot 1m}{1\cdot 3.3}\implies \cfrac{40m}{1sec}\\\\ -----------------------------\\\\ \textit{5 seconds}\implies 5\cdot 40m$
