Question 640856
60 seconds = 1 minute


60*60 seconds = 60*1 minute


3600 seconds = 60 minutes


3600 seconds = 1 hour


1 second = 1/3600 hours


2 seconds = 2/3600 hours


2 seconds = 1/1800 hours


-------------------------------------------------------


So if you drove for 2 seconds, then you also drove for 1/1800 hours



d = rt


d = 12*(1/1800)


d = 12/1800


d = 1/150


So you drove 1/150 miles, which converts to (1/150)*(5280 ft/1 mi) = 5280/150 = 35.2 feet
