Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

You need to convert miles per hour into feet per second:

AMP Parsing Error of [(110miles/hour)*(1hour/60min)*(1min/60sec)*(5280feet/1mile)]: Invalid function ')*(5280\feet/1\mile)': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. .

Notice how all of the units "cancel" out except for the feet/seconds?

The answer is:

The racing pigeon can fly up to 161.3.... feet per second.
