Question 1080951: Every morning Diane runs 6 miles in about an hour. What is her rate in feet per second? What equations would you use to solve? Explain and show your work. Please show the work. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6 mph is 8.8 ft/sec. As a good estimate, multiply mph by 1.5 to get ft/sec
60 mph is 88 ft/sec, something that is part of driver's training.
That means 1 mph is 88ft/60sec or almost 1.5 ft sec. (1.46667)
6 miles/per hour*1 hour/3600 sec*5280 ft/mile.
