A parachutists speed during a free fall reaches 132 feet per second. What is the speed in meters per second? At this speed, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 5 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

     (132-ft) x (1 meter/3.3-ft)  =    40 meters

       132 ft/sec                        =      40  m/s

Distance = (speed) x (time)

                =  (40 m/s) x (5 sec)  =  200 meters

No rounding necessary for either answer.
