    the complete question is

    While driving in an exotic foreign land you see a speed limit sign on a highway that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

    Step 1

    convert (furlongs per fortnight) to (miles per fortnight)

    180,000 furlongs per fortnight=180,000 * (1/8) = 22,500 miles per fortnight

    Step 2

    convert miles per fortnight to miles per hour

    1 day=24 hour

    14 day=24*14=336 hours

    22,500 miles per fortnight=22,500/336=66.96 mph

    therefore

    the answer is

    66.96 mph
