Answer by hyh_123(8) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your question requires you to convert ft/secs into miles/hr
remember 1 mile = 5280ft
1 hr =60*60=3600
the speed per hour =1100*3600 secs
=3960000
your answer will come in ft per secs but you have to give your answer in
miles per hr.
=3960000/5280
=750m/hr
