Let's get the answer in feet

Thats a long way. So don't EVER drink and drive or ride in a car with someone who has been drinking.
Also notice how the "units" in the problem canceled out. Many times, units (feet, hour, miles, etc) can help you validate if an answer is correct or not. If the units endup being something that doesn't "make sense", then it is likely you did something wrong along the way.
