1 mile = 5280 ft.....so 40 miles = (5280 * 40) = 211200 ft
60 seconds per minute, and 60 minutes per hr....so 1 hr = (60 x 60) = 3600 seconds.

211,200 / 3600 = 58.67 ft per second

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when  diving, a hummingbird can reach a speed of 40 miles per hour.

i.e. speed of humming bird = 40 miles per hour

We have [tex]1 mile = 5280 feet\\40 miles = 5280(40) = 211200 feet[/tex]

In one hour = 211200 feet

We have [tex]1 hour = 3600 seconds[/tex]

Hence speed in ft/sec = [tex]\frac{211200}{3600} =58.67[/tex] ft/sec
