Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to feet per second, you need to multiply the given speed by the conversion factor.

Conversion factor: 5,280 ft = 1 mile

So, to convert 15 miles per hour to feet per second:
15 miles/hour * 5,280 ft/mile = 79,200 ft/hour

Next, you need to convert hours to seconds.

Conversion factor: 3,600 seconds = 1 hour

So, 79,200 ft/hour * 1 hour/3,600 seconds = 22 ft/second

Therefore, the golf cart is traveling at a speed of 22 ft/second.

The answer is C) 22 ft/second.
