Maria is traveling at a speed of 60 mph. What is her speed in meters per second? Round to the nearest tenth

speed in meter per seconds = 26.8 meters per seconds (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed at which she traveled is 60 mph. Speed is how fast an object travels or the distance covered at a particular time. Mathematically, it is defined as distance divided by time. Speed can be express in various units. But the question express unit in miles per hour and we are asked to convert the unit to meters per seconds.

speed = distance/time

She travels at 60 miles/1 hour

1 miles = 1609.34 meters

1 hours = 3600 seconds

Therefore,

speed in meter per seconds = (60 * 1609.34) / 3600

speed in meter per seconds = 96560.4 / 3600

speed in meter per seconds = 26.8223333333 meters/second

speed in meter per seconds = 26.8 meters per seconds (nearest tenth)
