Algebra.Com's Answer #290241 by Blue_Skies(5)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! We would begin solving this problem by converting this to a fraction, like so:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 168/1 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " Then, we would multiply it by 1 over 3600, to change the bottom to seconds(there are 60 minutes in a second, and 60 second in a minute, and 60 times 60 is 3600): \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " 168/1 * 1/3600 = 168/3600 \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Then, we would convert the top to feet. There are 5280 feet in a mile, so we would change the top to miles, multiplying 168 over 60 by 5280 over 1.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " 168/3600 * 5280/1 = 887040/3600 \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Then, we would simplify the fraction.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 887040/3600=246.4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Therefore, the peregrine falcon flies 246.4 feet per second. \n" ); document.write( " You're welcome! I'm glad to help! :)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
