Q. 61ft/sec= 61 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}= mph \mathrm{mph} \newline> Next Question
  1. Understand conversion factors: Understand the conversion factors between feet per second and miles per hour.\newlineThere are 52805280 feet in a mile and 36003600 seconds in an hour. To convert feet per second to miles per hour, we need to multiply by the number of feet in a mile and divide by the number of seconds in an hour.
  2. Set up conversion: Set up the conversion from feet per second to miles per hour. To convert 6161 feet per second to miles per hour, we multiply by 52805280 (the number of feet in a mile) and then divide by 36003600 (the number of seconds in an hour).
  3. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication. 61feet/second×5280feet/mile=322080feet/mile61 \, \text{feet/second} \times 5280 \, \text{feet/mile} = 322080 \, \text{feet/mile}
  4. Perform division: Perform the division. 322080 feet/mile3600 seconds/hour=89.4666667 miles/hour\frac{322080 \text{ feet/mile}}{3600 \text{ seconds/hour}} = 89.4666667 \text{ miles/hour}
  5. Round answer: Round the answer to a reasonable number of decimal places.\newlineSince speed is typically measured to the nearest whole number, we round 89.466666789.4666667 to 8989 miles per hour.
