A satellite orbits earth at a speed of 14100 feet per second
(ft/s). Use the following facts to convert this speed to
miles
per hour (mph).
1 mile = 5280 ft
1 min = 60 sec
1 hour = 60 min

Answer:

≈ 9613.64 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert ft/s to ft/hr.

14100 ft/s*3600 = 50,760,000 ft/hr

Now we convert the feet to miles.

50,760,000 ft/hr ÷ 5280 ≈ 9613.64 mph

So in conclusion, 14100 ft/s is approximately 9613.64 mph.
