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.)

5,280 feet = 1 mile


feet per second

Answer :

calculista

we know that

[tex]1\ mile=5,280\ feet[/tex]

[tex]1\ hour=3,600\ sec[/tex]

1) convert miles per hour to feet per hour

[tex]40\ miles/hour=40*5,280=211,200\ feet/hour[/tex]

2) convert feet per hour to feet per second

[tex]211,200\ feet/hour=211,200/3,600=58.67 feet/sec[/tex]

Round to the nearest whole number-------> [tex]59 feet/sec[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]59 feet/sec[/tex]

B) 59 feet per second
