You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using just units:
[ miles / hr ] x [ hrs / min ] x [ min / sec ] x [ sec ] = [ miles ]
Now fill in the numbers:
+55%2A%28+1%2F60+%29%2A%28+1%2F60+%29%2A5+
+%28+55%2A5+%29+%2F+3600+
+275+%2F+3600+=+.0763888+ miles
-------------------
You can convert to feet, also
[ miles ] x [ ft / mile ] = [ ft ]
+.0763888%2A5280+=+403.333+
and, also
[ ft ] x [ in/ft ] = [ in ]
+.333%2A12+=+4+ in
------------------
In 5 sec you travel 403 ft and 4 in
