a car is traveling at a rate of 44 feet per second . what is the cars rate in miles per hour? how many miles will the car travel in 3 hours? uses the fact that 1 mike is equal to 5280 feet

Respuesta :

The rate in miles per hour is 30 miles per hour and the car will travel 90 miles in 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Speed of car = rate = s = 44 feet per second

As there are:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 sec

so there are 60*60= 3600 seconds in an hour.

And it is given that there are 5280 feet in one mile

So the rate in feet per sec will be multiplied with 3600 and then divided by 5280

So,

[tex]Rate = \frac{44*3600}{5280}\\=30\ miles\ per\ hour[/tex]

Miles the car will travel in 3 hours

Putting distance = 3 in rate's formula

[tex]s = \frac{d}{t}\\30 = \frac{d}{3}\\30*3 = d\\d = 90\ miles[/tex]

Hence,

The rate in miles per hour is 30 miles per hour and the car will travel 90 miles in 3 hours
