Ok! but how do I find the 2nd part ?

anonymous · Answer

distance = speed * time

Sorry I suck at math lol

yes... u just have to multiply those values :)

anonymous · Answer

27 miles=27*1760 yards=27*1760*3 feet
1 hour =1*60 minutes=1*60*60 seconds
$$27 m/hr=\frac{ 27*1760*3 }{ 1*60*60}=39.6 feet/s$$
distance=speed*time
calculate.
