Charlotte is driving at 60.2 mi/h and receives a text message. She looks down at her phone and takes her eyes off the road for 3.91 s. How far has Charlotte traveled in feet during this time?

Answer 1

time = 3.91 s = (3.91 / 3600) h = 1.086 x 10^-3 h

distance (d) = speed (v) * time (t)

so, d = 60.2 mi/h * 1.086 x 10^-3 h

d = 0.0653772 mi

1 mile = 5280 feet

So, 0.0653772 mi = 0.0653772 mi * 5280 = 345.2 feet
