Mississippi Pesticide License Practice Exam

To convert 88 feet per minute to feet per second, you need to understand the relationship between minutes and seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so you divide the number of feet per minute by the number of seconds per minute.

Starting with 88 feet per minute, you perform the following calculation:

\[

88 \text{ feet per minute} \div 60 \text{ seconds per minute} = 1.4667 \text{ feet per second}

\]

When rounded to three decimal places, this gives you approximately 1.467 feet per second. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.466 feet per second.

Understanding this conversion can be particularly important in various practical applications, such as calculating speed for pesticide application rates, where consistent measurements across different units are essential for accuracy.
