Multiply the amount of feet in one mile by the amount of miles in the question(5,280 x 50 = 264,000)
Divide the amount of feet in 50 miles by the amount of minutes in 1 hour to get the amount of feet per mile (264,000 ÷ 60 = 4,400)
Divide the amount of feet per mile to get by the amount of seconds in a minute to get the amount of feet per second (4,400 ÷ 60 = 73.33)
Your answer rounded to the nearest whole number is "73"
Answer: The answer of this question is 73.
Speed is basically the rate at which any thing can move. The formula to calculate the speed is as follows:
Speed= Distance/Time
means distance covered in a specific time is speed
Speed in feet per second:
We have been given that the speed of blue marlin is 50 miles per hour and we have to just show that speed in terms of feet per second.
Firstly we will calculate the speed in terms of feet per hour. For that we need to multiply 50 with 5280 which comes 264000 feet per hour.
Now we will convert this speed in terms of feet per second we know that:
1 hour=60 minutes
1 minute=60 seconds
So, 1 hour=60*60
=3600 second
To calculate the speed in terms of feet per second we need to divide 264000 with 3600.
By doing this we will get the speed =73.33 and the nearest whole number is 73.
Hence the answer of the question is 73 feet per second.
