You can put this solution on YOUR website! In distance word problems, times is measured in miles per hour not minutes.
This means we need to convert hours to seconds.
We also need to use the formula D = rt, where D = distance, r = rate or speed and t = time in hours and then solve for t.
100 = 35t
Solving for t, we get 100/35 = t.
We now convert 100/35 hours to seconds.
100/35 in terms of seconds is about 10285.714285714
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Convert miles/hr to ft/sec
(mi/hr)x(ft/mi)x(hr/sec) = ft/sec mi/hr x ft/mi x hr/sec ft/sec sec sec
