Question

If you are travelling 8 yards per second, what is your the average speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

Using unit conversions, convert yards to feet to miles. Convert seconds to minutes to$\frac{8 yd}{sec}*\frac{3 ft}{1 yd}*\frac{1 mi}{5280 ft}*\frac{60sec}{1 min}*\frac{60 min}{1 hr} = 16.36 \frac{mi}{hr}$ hours.
