Question

Penguins can swim at a speed of up to 33 ft./s use dimensional analysis to convert the speed to miles per hour 1 mile equals 5280 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 22.5 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of Penguins is 33 ft/s.

We need to convert the speed to miles per hour.

We know that, 1 mile = 5280 feet

Speed,

$v=33\ \dfrac{ft}{s}\\\\=33\times \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{5280}\ \text{miles}}{\dfrac{1}{3600}\ \text{hour}}\\\\=22.5\ \text{miles/hour}$

So, the speed of the Penguins is 22.5 miles/hour.
