20mi/1h * 5280 ft./ 1mi * 1hr/60min * 1 min/60 sec
multiply 20 * 5280 on the top for 105,600 and then divide by 3600 (the 60 * 60 on the bottom) All the units will cancel out except miles on top and seconds on bottom. You get 29.3 feet/sec

1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
So, the conversion factor is:
(5,280 feet / 1 mile) / (3,600 seconds / 1 hour)
Let's calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Convert miles per hour to feet per hour
20 miles/hour * 5,280 feet/mile = 105,600 feet/hour
Step 2: Convert feet per hour to feet per second
105,600 feet/hour รท 3,600 seconds/hour = 29.333 feet/second
Therefore, a squirrel running at a speed of 20 miles per hour is equivalent to approximately 29.333 feet per second.
1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet.
1 hour is equal to 3,600 seconds.
Now, we can calculate the speed of the squirrel in feet per second:
Speed (in mph) = 20 miles per hour
Speed (in fps) = Speed (in mph) * (conversion factor miles to feet) * (conversion factor hours to seconds)
Speed (in fps) = 20 mph * 5,280 feet/mile * 1 hour / 3,600 seconds
Now, let's calculate it:
Speed (in fps) = (20 * 5280) / 3600
Speed (in fps) โ 29.33 feet per second
Therefore, a squirrel running at a speed of 20 miles per hour is approximately equivalent to 29.33 feet per second.
