There are 5280 feet in 1 mile and 3600 seconds (1hour times 60 minutes times 60 seconds) in 1 hour.\r<BR>\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "70 miles per hour mean that the Car A is travelling 70*5280 feet per hour. which is 369600 feet per hour. We want to know the how many feet the Car A travels per second. So we divide 369600 by 3600 to give 102 and 2/3 feet per seond.\r<BR>\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "We do the same for Car B. 55*5280/3600=80 and 2/3 feet per second. \r<BR>\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "So the difference between the two cars is 102 and 2/3 feet per second minus 80 2/3 feet per second which is 22 feet per second. </SPAN>\n" );
