if you travel 50 miles per hour, how many feet per second are you traveling?

Question

I need the answer in feet per second, that may be obvious. 

Answer 1

50 miles/hr * 1 hr/3600/sec * 5280 ft/mile

 

You should do the multiplication.  

 

The trick with unit conversion problems is to make the units work out:

 

mi/hr * hr/sec * ft/mi = ft/sec
