Richard and Hichan are racing. Hichan beat Richard by how many feet

anonymous · Answer

okay, well you need to find the rate at which richard ran his mile in feet... can you do that?

anonymous · Answer

I have 21.05 feet per second for Richard and 26.08 feet per second for Hichan

anonymous · Answer

how did you get that?

anonymous · Answer

i converted 1 mile into 5820 feet and figured their time in seconds. Next I divided the distance 5820 by 276.5 seconds for Richard. For Hichan I divided 5820 by 223.13

there are 5280 feet in a mile.  your process is right, just the wrong number
