so in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour
convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds
convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet
63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176
176 feet per second
