Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

ww have that 90 miles /2 hours is given and we are asked to find it in feet per second.

[tex] \frac{90 \: mi}{2 \: hrs} \times \frac{5280 \: ft}{1 \: mi} \times \frac{1 \: hr}{60 \: min} \times \frac{1 \: min}{60 \: sec} = 66[/tex]

So we get

66 fps.

2.

[tex] \frac{120 \: miles}{8 \: hours} \times \frac{5280}{1 \: mile} \times \frac{1 \: hour}{60 \: min} \times \frac{1 \: min}{60 \: seconds} = 22[/tex]

So we get 22 fps.

Extra credit There is 5 people and 2 hands so we use the combinations formula.

n!/r!(n-r)!. where n is the number of objects (the number of people) and r is the things taken at the time( the hands)

Subsitue

[tex] \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{20}{2} = 10[/tex]
