PLEASE NO LINKS: A giraffe can run 32 miles per hour. What is this speed in feet per second? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. So what's the equation and the answer? I'm lost. Thanks.

46.9 f/s

Step-by-step explanation:

In this, you use conversion factors.

* **

So, you start with 32 mph. We have to turn the miles into feet, and so we know that there are 5,280 feet in a mile. To cancel out the mile, we use a conversion factor of to cancel out the mile and convert it properly into feet. It cancels because there would be a mile in the numerator and denominator.

We repeat the same thing to turn the hours into minutes. By multiplying by a conversion factor , you cancel out the hours and turn it into minutes.

This process works because when you multiply by the conversion factor, it's technically equal to 1 (since the numerator and denominator are equal, just different units) and allows you to switch between units. After you get to your desired unit, you can just keep it in that form, unless otherwise specified.

Once you get the end result, you have : , which simplifies to 46.9 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

here is me explaining it:

the pizza would be delivered around 5, give or take 15 minutes. this means it could be delivered anywhere from 4: 45 to 5: 15

let's say 5: 00 is equivalent to 0 on a number line and x represents time. 4: 45 would be equal to -15x because we are 15 minutes behind our starting point, 5: 00. 5: 15 would be equal to 15x because we are 15 minutes ahead of your starting point (which means you're late on the pizza delivery! )

absolute value is very confusing. the basic definition is how far you are from your starting point. if we deliver the pizza at 4: 45 (15 minutes before the starting point) we would be -15. this means we are 15 away from our starting point, 5: 00. that's the absolute value. |-15| (absolute value of negative fifteen) is equal to 15. if you did not understand this i suggest rereading this paragraph.

the normal way you would write this scenario would be 4.75 (4 and 3 quarters, or 4: 45. you can also write as a fraction.) is less than x and x is less than 5.25 (5 and 1 quarter or 5: 15). 4.75< x< 5.25 the reason why i am using numbers is because you cannot represent typical time as values on a graph, number line, or in an equation.

another way to write this scenario is with absolute value. we can write this as |x| being less than or equal to .25 (remember, this just means 15 minutes).           |x| ≤ .25.

sorry if the end was confusing. because we are talking about time this whole question is 10x harder. like i said earlier, you cannot represent time as, well, time, in a graph, equation, or number line. i set the values as follows: 1/4 or .25 for 15 minutes, and 1 for 1 hour. this is just a common way to set up graphs involving time.

|x| ≤ .25

i hope this ! : )
