Aneesha is traveling at a rate of 4400 feet per second, which means that Morris is traveling a a rate of 4397 feet per second

Answer:

70.33 feet per second ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The speed of Anneesha = 50 miles per hour,

1 mile = 5280 feet,

Also, 1 hour = 3600 seconds,

Thus, the speed of Annesha = \(\frac{50\times 5280}{3600}\) feet per sec

\(=\frac{264000}{3600}\)

\(\approx 73.33\text{ feet per second}\)

Now, Morris is traveling 3 feet per second less than Aneesha.

Therefore, the speed of Morris = 73.33 - 3 = 70.33 feet per second.
