You can put this solution on YOUR website! The fastest moving insect is the large tropical cockroach. It scurries at speeds of up to 2.3 feet per second. Now write an equation that represents how many miles a roach can travel in 1.5 hours.
-----------------------------------------------
distance = [2.3 ft/sec][1 mile/5280 ft][5400 sec/1.5 hr]
----
distance = [2.3*1*5400]/[1*5280*1] [miles/1.5 hrs]
----
distance = [12420/5280] miles/1.5 hrs
---
distance = 2.35 miles/1.5 hrs
