Respuesta :
The antelope can travel at a speed of (rounding to) 87 feet per second.
Answer:
[tex]87 \frac{feet}{s}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there are 5280 feet in a mile, 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.
To know what the speed of the antelope will be in feet per second we will use a conversion factor.
[tex]\frac{59 miles}{1h} .\frac{5280 feet}{1 mile}= 311520 \frac{feet}{h}[/tex]
We know that one hour has 60 minutes and that one minute has 60 seconds. We use a simple rule of three to know how many seconds are in an hour
[tex]1min \longrightarrow 60s\\ 60 min\longrightarrow x\\ x= \frac{(60)(60)}{1}= 3600[/tex]
[tex]311520\frac{feet}{h}.\frac{1h}{3600s}= 87 \frac{feet}{s}[/tex]
the speed of the antilope is [tex]87 \frac{feet}{s}[/tex]
