A car is traveling at 35 miles per hour. In about how many seconds will it travel 100 feet.

Solution

In distance word problems, times is measured in miles per hour not minutes.
This means we need to convert hours to seconds.
We also need to use the formula D = rt, where D = distance, r = rate or speed and t = time in hours and then solve for t.
100 = 35t
Solving for t, we get 100/35 = t.
We now convert 100/35 hours to seconds.
100/35 in terms of seconds is about 10285.714285714
