Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. A car is traveling in a straight line at a speed of 55 miles per hour. How fast is the cart
1 minute = 3,600 seconds
1 mile = 5,280 feet
Express the answer to the correct number of significant figures.
The car is traveling
feet per second.

1.34 feet/seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the above question, we would be converting 55 miles per hour to feet per seconds.

From the above question, we are given the following conversion values

1 minute = 3,600 seconds

1 mile = 5,280 feet

55 miles per hour = 55 mile / 1 hour

So,

If 1 mile = 5,280 feet

55 miles = x feet

We cross Multiply

x = 5,280 × 55

x = 290,400 feet

Hence, 55 miles = 290,400 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

If 1 minute = 3,600 seconds

60 minutes = x seconds

We cross multiply

x = 60 × 3,600

x = 216,000 seconds.

This means

60 minutes = 216,000 seconds

In other to find out how fast is the car is,

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 290,400 feet/216,000 seconds

Speed = 1.3444444444 feet/seconds

To the to the correct number of significant figures, the car is traveling at 1.34 feet per second.
