If I were traveling at 253 mph, how many feet will I travel in 1 second?

Step 1. Convert 253 mph to feet/sec.

Step 2. 5280 feet = 1 mile

Step 3. 1 hour = 60 minutes = 60 minutes*60 seconds/minute = 3600 seconds

Step 4. AMP Parsing Error of [253*miles/hour=(253*miles/hour)*(5280*feet/mile)*(1*hour/3600 seconds)=253*5280/3600*feet/sec=371.1*(feet/sec)]: Invalid function '=371.1*(feet/sec)': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. .

Note the units of miles and hours cancel they these units appear both in the numerator and denominator.

Step 5. ANSWER: Since AMP Parsing Error of [353*(miles/hour)=371.1*(feet/sec)]: Invalid function ')': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. . , then in 1 second you travel 371.1 feet.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
