A car is traveling 40mph. At this rate, how many seconds would it take to travel 200 feet?

Solution

1 mile = 5280 feet
distance/time = speed
We want to know a time. So we need distance/speed = time.
Remember that all the unit measurements should be same type. So to convert feet into miles we divide by 5280.
200/5280 = 0.0378 miles.
(200/5280)/40 = 0.00094697 hours.
To convert to seconds we times by 3600 to give 3.4 seconds.
