Question

5280 ft = 1 mi

Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To convert feet per second to miles per hour, we need to multiply by a conversion factor.

1 mile per hour is equal to 5280 feet per hour.

So,

1 foot per second = 5280 feet per hour

To convert 50 feet per second to miles per hour, we can multiply by the conversion factor:

50 feet per second * (5280 feet per hour / 1 mile per hour)

Simplifying the units, we get:

50 * 5280 / 1 (feet per second) * (1 mile per hour / 5280 feet per hour)

The feet units cancel out, leaving us with miles per second:

50 * 1 / 1 = 50 miles per hour.

Therefore, 50 feet per second is equal to 50 miles per hour.
