Determine each rate and then complete the comparison. Ben's rate of cycling was 15 feet per second. Angela's rate of cycling was 12 miles per hour.

Ben:

15 ft per second

Angela:

12 miles per hr ...

5280 ft = 1 mile ... so 12 miles = (12 * 5280) = 63360 ft

60 seconds per minute ... 60 minutes per hr ... (60 x 60) = 3600 seconds

63360 / 3600 = 17.6 ft per second

so Ben's rate (15 ft per second) < Angela's rate (12 miles per hr)
