Jenny went on a road trip to Chicago. On her trip she averaged 59 miles per hour. What was her average speed in inches per second?
-----------------
59 mi/hr
= 59 mi/hr * 5280 ft/mi * 12 in/ft * (1/60) hr/min * (1/60) min/sec
--------------
Notice how the units cancel to give in/sec if you do it right.
= 59*5280*12/(60*60) in/sec
