Question 1203335
.
A bicycle is traveling at 22 miles per hour. How many feet will it cover in 35 seconds? 
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<pre>
1 mile = 5280 feet.


To answer your question, first multiply 5280 feet by 22 and divide by 3600, the number of seconds in an hour.


You will get the number of feet covered in 1 second.


To get the answer, multiply it by 35 seconds.  You may combine everything in one line formula


     <U>ANSWER</U> = {{{(5280*22*35)/3600}}}.


Use your calculator and round as requested.
</pre>

Happy calculations (!)

Since after my post, @josgaritmetic came with his answer of 1064.8 feet, 

I must refute it as incorrect.


The correct answer is 1129.3 feet.

Looking at the super-bulky solutions by other tutors to this super-simple problem,

I want to explain to the visitor that the educational meaning of this problem 

is to develop common sense - not to develop this bulky technique.
