Question

Which is faster: a speedboat on water traveling at 70 meters per second, or a supercar on the highway traveling 170 miles per hour. Use dimensional analysis to convert one type of speed to the other,and use only the facts in the green box above.

Use dimensional analysis and use the only the facts provided in the
table below and in the problem question.
Commonly used unit conversions:
1 ft = 12 in.
