I also need it worked out and explained how you came up with the answer. Thanks so much in advance!! Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The best conversion factor is from 60 mph=88 feet/second to 1 mph=1.5 feet/second. It is a close approximation, but 1.46 is closer. Therefore, 26 ft/sec=26/1.46=17.80 mph
B is closest
