the elevator in the washington monument takes 75 seconds to travel 500 feet to the top of the floor. what is the speed of the elevator in miles per hour?
-------------
(500 feet/75 seconds)( 1 mile/5280 feet)(3600 seconds/1 hour)
= (500*3600)/(75*5280)(miles/hour)
= (1800000/396000) (miles/hour)
= 4.5454... mph
