we know that
Seth traveled 1 mile in 57.1 second
step 1
convert 57.1 second to hour
1 hour is equal to 3 , 600 sec
by proportion
3 , 600 1 ​ seco n d s h o u r ​ = 57.1 x ​ seco n d s h o u rs ​ 3 , 600 ∗ x = 57.1 x = 3 , 600 57.1 ​ h o u rs
step 2
Find the speed in miles per hour
we know that
The speed is equal to
s p ee d = t im e d i s t an ce ​
we have
d i s t an ce = 1 mi l e t im e = 3 , 600 57.1 ​ h o u rs
s p ee d = 3 , 600 57.1 ​ 1 ​ s p ee d = 57.1 3 , 600 ​
s p ee d = 63.05 h o u r mi l es ​
therefore
the answer is
The speed is equal to 63.05 h o u r mi l es ​
