You need to convert miles per hour into feet per second:

%28110miles%2Fhour%29%2A%281hour%2F60min%29%2A%281min%2F60sec%29%2A%285280feet%2F1mile%29

Notice how all of the units "cancel" out except for the feet/seconds?

The answer is:

%28110%2A5280%29%2F%2860%2A60%29

161.33333....

The racing pigeon can fly up to 161.3.... feet per second.
