How fast is a golf cart traveling 30 miles per hour in feet per second?

5,280 feet = one mile

3,600 seconds = one hour

(1 point)
feet per second

Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to feet per second, we need to convert both miles and hours to feet and seconds, respectively.

First, we convert 30 miles to feet:
30 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 158,400 feet

Next, we convert 1 hour to seconds:
1 hour * 3,600 seconds/hour = 3,600 seconds

Finally, we divide the distance in feet by the time in seconds to get the speed in feet per second:
158,400 feet / 3,600 seconds = 44 feet per second

Therefore, a golf cart traveling at 30 miles per hour is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second.
