hari1985 · Answer

Speed = 5 feet per second.

1 Hour= 60X60 Seconds = 3600 Seconds.

Total no of feet traveled in 1 hour = 3600X5 = 1800X10 = 180000

unverifiedvoracity · Answer

E.

Total feet traveled in 1 hour = 5 * number of seconds in 1 hour = 5 * 60 * 60 = 5 * 3600 = 18,000.

rhine29388 · Answer

object travels 5 feet in 1 seconds
so speed = 5 ft/second
there are 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds in a hour 
so time = 3600 seconds
according to formula distance = speed * time
so object will travel 5 * 3600 = 18000 feet in a hour
so distance = 18000 feet
correct answer - E

paidlukkha · Answer

5ft per second 
per min = 5*60 = 300ft
per hour = 5*60*60 = 18000ft
per day = 5*60*60*24

Asked: If an object travels at five feet per second, how many feet does it travel in one hour?

Speed = 5 f/s
Distance = Speed * time = 5 * 60*60 = 18000 feet

IMO E

ckavishwar · Answer

1 sec -> 5 feet ;

1 hour = 3600 sec -> 5*3600 feet = 18000 feet

Hence E

BrentGMATPrepNow · Answer

We can solve this question using  equivalent ratio s.

The question tells us that for every  1  second, the object travels  5  feet
1 hour =  3600  seconds
Let  x  = the distance travelled in one hour (aka  3600  seconds)

We can write:  1 / 5  =  3600 / x

Cross multiply:  x = 18,000

Answer: E
