Solution: We have to find the number of seconds a car will take to travel 1,050 feet
=> Rate of car is 75mph and 1 mile=5,280 feet
Two units: Miles and Hour = Feet and seconds = 75 * 5,280 : 60 min
=> 75 * 5,280 : 60 * 60 secs
=> 75 * 5,280 : 60 * 60 secs = 1,050 feet : x sec
2nd Property of Ratios: If A : B = C : D, then AD = BC
=> x secs * 75 * 5,280 feet = 60 * 60 secs * 1,050 feet
=> x = \(\frac{60\cdot60\cdot1,050}{75\cdot5,280}\) = 9.5 seconds
Therefore, A is the correct answer.
Answer A
=> Rate of car is 75mph and 1 mile=5,280 feet
Two units: Miles and Hour = Feet and seconds = 75 * 5,280 : 60 min
=> 75 * 5,280 : 60 * 60 secs
=> 75 * 5,280 : 60 * 60 secs = 1,050 feet : x sec
2nd Property of Ratios: If A : B = C : D, then AD = BC
=> x secs * 75 * 5,280 feet = 60 * 60 secs * 1,050 feet
=> x = \(\frac{60\cdot60\cdot1,050}{75\cdot5,280}\) = 9.5 seconds
Therefore, A is the correct answer.
