Jackrabbits are capable of reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour. How fast is this in feet per second? (Round to the nearest whole number.) 5,280 feet = 1 mile feet per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, start off by figuring out how many miles in feet the jackrabbit goes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40 mile per hour

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This would be 5280*x (In this case, 40)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, now divide that by 60.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, divide that by 60.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, those are two different steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

88

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not what I got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,580/60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5280* 40 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

211200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, now divide by 60.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3520

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide by 60, once again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

58.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the jackrabbit goes 58.6 feet per second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem!

Have a nice day!
