(please help!!)

Answer:

The answer to your question is speed = 81.5 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance = 230 ft

time = 1.932 s

speed = ? mi/h

Process

1.- Convert the distance to mi

                1 mile ----------------- 5280 ft

                 x        ----------------- 230 ft

                 x = (230 x 1) / 5280

                 x = 0.044 mi

2.- Convert time to hours

                 1 h    ------------------ 3600 s

                  x      ------------------ 1.932 s

                        x = (1.932 x 1) / 3600

                        x = 0.00054 h

3.- Calculate the speed

speed = distance / time

-Substitution

speed = 0.044/ 0.00054

-Result

speed = 81.5 mi/h
