<PRE><B>Question 381186</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;You need to convert miles per hour into feet per second: &lt;br&gt;

{{{(110miles/hour)*(1hour/60min)*(1min/60sec)*(5280feet/1mile)}}}&lt;br&gt;

Notice how all of the units &quot;cancel&quot; out except for the feet/seconds?&lt;br&gt;

The answer is:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(110*5280)/(60*60)}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{161.33333....}}}&lt;br&gt;

The racing pigeon can fly up to 161.3.... feet per second.&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
