A creature moves at a speed of 5.00 furlongs per fortnight (not a very common unit of speed). Given that 1 furlong= 220 yards and 1 fortnight= 14 days determine the speed of the creature in m/s.

Question

~ for this question:
know:

5 furlongs/ fortnight
1fortnight= 14days

(5furlongs/14days)*(220yds/1furlong)*(0.9144m/1yd)*(1day/86,400s)=
8.315e-4m/s

Is this alright...I think it's fine but I'm not sure since these are weird terms.."fortnight" and "furlong".

Thanks =D
