Step-by-step explanation:

in this problem, we are expected to convert from miles per hour to feet per second

a). What is her speed in miles per hour?

we know that speed= distance/ time

given that

distance= 26.2 mile

time= 5 hours

substitute and solve for speed we have

speed= 26.2/5

speed= 5.24 miles per hour

b) What is her speed in feet per second?

1 mile per hour is 1.46667 feet per second

5.24 miles per hours will give x

cross multiply to solve for x we have

x= 5.24*1.46667

x= 7.68 feet per seconds
