Answer:
The vehicle travels 105.6 feet in one second.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by proportions.
72 mph
One hour has 3600 seconds.
Each mile has 5280 ft.
So in 3600 seconds, the vehicle travels 5280*72 = 380160 feet. In one second, how many feet?
3600 seconds - 380160 feet
1 seconds - x feet
Applying cross multiplication:
[tex]3600x = 380160[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{380160}{3600}[/tex]
[tex]x = 105.6[/tex]
The vehicle travels 105.6 feet in one second.
