You can put this solution on YOUR website!

first convert ft into mil:
1mi+=+5280ft+

so 1ft=%281%2F5280%29mil

calculate the number of miles in 20ft:



now convert s into h:

1s=%281%2F3600%29h=0.000277778h

plug both values in your formula:

20%28ft%2Fs%29=0.0037878787878787878787878787878788mil%2F+0.000277778h=13.6%28mil%2Fh%29
