Question 911421: How many feet does a car travel in 1 second if it is moving at a rate of 75 mph?

1 hour = 60*60 = 3600 seconds
75 miles: 1 hour
75 miles: 3600 seconds
75/3600 miles: 3600/3600 seconds
1/48 mile: 1 second
1 second: 1/48 mile
-------------------------------------------------------
1/48 miles = (1/48)*5280 = 110 feet
So you're going 110 ft per second. In other words, the car travels 110 feet in 1 second (and does so each second assuming you maintain the speed of 75 mph).
