26 feet per second is equal to 17.7272 miles per hour.
5280 feet in a mile
3600 seconds in an hour
speed = 26 feet per second
As given to us that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, therefore,
[tex]1\ mile = 5280\ feet\\26\ feet = \dfrac{26}{5280} miles[/tex]
As given to us that 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds,
[tex]1\ hour= 3600\ seconds\\1\ second = \dfrac{1}{3600}\ hour[/tex]
Converting the speed from feet per second to miles per hour,
[tex]26\dfrac{feet}{second} = \dfrac{\dfrac{26}{5280}\ miles}{\dfrac{1}{3600}\ hour} = 17.7272\ miles/hour[/tex]
Hence, 26 feet per second is equal to 17.7272 miles per hour.
