Thread: Please help me quick!!!

Use conversion factors to solve:
Distance traveled in feet after 12 seconds at eighty-seven mph

and please show me how u solved it.

please, i need help and quick!

d = rt, where d = distance, r= rate, t = time

r = 87 mph -- but you need feet:

87 mph * 5280 ft/mile = 459360 fph -- but you need seconds:

459360 fph / 60 min / 60 sec = 127.6 ft/sec is your rate

d = 127.6 * 12 = 1531.2 ft traveled

hope this helps

time = 12 s
Since, 1 mile = 1.609 km

1km = 1000 m
1 h = 60 min = 60.60 s = 3600 s

1 feet = 30.48 cm = 0.3048 m
