Aneesha travels at a rate of 50 miles per hour. Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha. Which is the best estimate of the speed Morris is traveling?

1 mile = 5,280 feet

Respuesta :

is the answer 47 mph

Answer:

48 miles per hour is the speed of Morris

Step-by-step explanation:

Aneesha is travelling at a rate of = 50 miles/hour

Morris is travelling with 3 feet per second less than Aneesha

Now we will convert feet per second to miles per hours to get the speed of Morris.

[tex]\frac{3\text{feet}}{\text{second}}=\frac{3(\frac{1}{5280})}{(\frac{1}{3600})} \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3(3600)}{(5280)}=2.05[/tex] miles per hour

Now we know that Morris is travelling 2.05 miles per hour less than Aleesha

So speed of Morris = 50 - 2.05 = 47.95 miles per hour

Therefore, approximate speed of Morris is 48 miles per hour.
