(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the speed of the golf cart in feet per second, we need to convert the given speed from miles per hour to feet per second.

First, we convert 30 miles per hour to feet per hour by multiplying it by 5,280 feet:
30 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 158,400 feet/hour

Since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour, we can divide the speed in feet per hour by 3,600 to find the speed in feet per second:
158,400 feet/hour ÷ 3,600 seconds/hour = 44 feet/second

Therefore, the golf cart is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second.
