<PRE><B>Question 862189</B>
1 hour is equal to 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.
1 mile is equal to 5280 feet.


it is sometimes easier to do the conversions up front.


if the car is traveling 43 miles in one hour, then:
43 miles * 5280 = 227040 feet.


1 hour * 3600 = 3600 seconds.


the car is traveling 227040 feet in 3600 seconds.


divide 227040 feet by 3600 and you get the car traveling 227040/3600 feet in one second.


convert this to decimals and the car is traveling 63.0667 feet per second.


multiply this by 6.5 seconds and the car has traveled 63.0667 * 6.5 = 409.9333 feet.
