How many seconds will it take to travel 196 feet at 18 miles per hour?
----
Note:: An hour is 60*60 = 3600 seconds
------------------
time = distance/rate
-----
time = [196/18 (ft/hr)]
-----
= [196*1/(18*3600)](ft/sec)
------
= 0.00302.. (ft/sec)

Hi there,
18 miles = 95040 ft
95040 ft in an hour
1584 ft in a minute (/60)
26.4 ft in a second (/60)
196/ 26.4 = 7.42 seconds
Hope this helps :-)
