nicolek9 i also do not understand 60 miles per hour to miles per second can you please explain too? one year ago one year ago

To answer that, let's answer an easier question first... If you are going 60 miles per hour, how many miles per minute are you going?

oh thanks!

$1[\text {min}]=60[\text{sec}]\quad\implies\quad\frac1{60}\frac{[\text {min}]}{[\text{sec}]}=1$$1[\text {hr}]=60[\text{min}]\quad\implies\quad \frac{1}{60}\frac{[\text{hr}]}{[\text{min}]}=1$ $60 \frac{[\text{mi}]}{[\text{hr}]}=60 \frac{[\text{mi}]}{[\text{hr}]}\times1\times1$ $\qquad\qquad= 60 \frac{[\text{mi}]}{[\text{hr}]}\times\frac{1}{60}\frac{[\text{hr}]}{[\text{min}]}\times\frac1{60}\frac{[\text {min}]}{[\text{sec}]}$ $\qquad\qquad= \cancel{60} \frac{[\text{mi}]}{\cancel{[\text{hr}]}}\times\cancel{\frac{1}{60}}\frac{\cancel{[\text{hr}]}}{\cancel{\text{min}]}}\times\frac1{60}\frac{\cancel{[\text {min}]}}{[\text{sec}]}$ $\qquad\qquad=\frac1{60}\frac{[\text{mi}]}{[\text{sec}]}$

can you understand that ?
