If I can run 10 feet in 1.8 seconds, how many miles per hour can i run? Please show how you get to the answer insted of just saying what the answer is.
Let's calculate how far you run in one second......this is given by
10ft / 1.8 sec = 50/9 ft per second
And since there are 3600 seconds in one hour....then you run.....
3600 sec/hr * 50/9 ft/sec =
400 * 50 =
20000 ft per hr
And dividing this by the number of feet in one mile - 5280 - we have
20000 ft per hr/ 5280 ft/mile = about 3.78 mph
