Question

How fast is a golf cart traveling at 15 miles per hour IN feet per second?

5,280 feet= 1 mile
3,600 seconds= 1 hour

Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to feet per second, we need to convert both the distance and the time units.

First, we convert 15 miles to feet:
15 miles * 5280 feet/mile = 79200 feet

Then, we convert 1 hour to seconds:
1 hour * 3600 seconds/hour = 3600 seconds

Finally, we divide the distance by the time to find the speed:
79200 feet / 3600 seconds = 22 feet/second

Therefore, a golf cart traveling at 15 miles per hour is traveling at a speed of 22 feet per second.
