since there are 5,280 feet in one mile and 3.3 feet in one meter how many meters per second are equivalent to 50 miles per hour

Given:

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 meter = 3.3 feet

convert 60 miles per hour to meters per second

60 miles to meters

60 miles x 5280ft x 1meter = (60*5280m)/3.3 = 316800m/3.3

                 1 mile    3.3ft

= 96,000 meters

1 hour to seconds

1 hour x 60 minutes x 60 seconds =   1 * 60 * 60sec = 3600 seconds

               1 hour            1 minute

unit rate: meters per second

96000 meters ÷ 3600 seconds = 26 2400/3600

simplify 26 2400/3600 ⇒ 26 2/3 meters per second

2400 ÷ 1200 = 2

3600 ÷ 1200 = 3
