A squirrel is moving at a speed of 16 feet per second. at this rate, how long would it take the squirrel to travel one mile? give your answer in minutes, to the nearest tenth.
speed of squirrel is = 16 feet/second
distance to be traveled is = 1mile 0r 5280 feet
time taken for the squirrel will be given by the equation
time = distance divided by speed
time = 5280 divided by 16 feet/sec = 330 sec or 5 min 30 sec
time taken by the squirrel to cross one mile traveling at 16feet/sec is 5 min 30 sec.
