you divide 70 / 1609 then you get the answer :D thats all. its a simple division problem :D
multiple choices are my specialty :D
OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
You use \(70\times 1609=x, x\div 3=y, y\div 120= the~~answer~~\)

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):
@FweaBoyLive If the bird flies 1600 meters for every mile, that's 1609*70 :)

70 miles / 3 hours =
23.33333 miles / hour
23.333333 miles x 1609 meters / hour
= 37543.33 meters / hour
= 37,543.33 / 3,600 =
10.429 meters / second
