Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, let's convert these into the same units.

We use the conversions:

- 1 hour = 60 min

- 1 min = 60 sec

- 1 mile = 5280 ft

40 miles/hour = 40 miles/60 minutes = $\frac{40}{60}$ miles/min = $\frac{40}{60}$ miles/60 seconds =

$\frac{\frac{40}{60} }{60}$ miles/sec = $\frac{\frac{40}{60} }{60}*5280$ ft/sec = 176/3 ft/sec ≈ 58.67 ft/sec

Obviously, 58.67 ft/sec > 50 ft/sec.

Thus, yes, it is faster to drive a car going 40 mph than a car going 50 ft/sec.

Hope this helps!

40 miles per hour is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find how many feet per hour the second car is going.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour.

50*60=3600

There are 3600 seconds in a hour.

50*3600=180000

This means that the second car going 180000 feet per hour.

1 mile is 5280 feet.

Now we have to figure out how many miles 180000 is.

We can do that by setting up the following expression.

180000/5280=34 1/11 or 34.09

Since 40 is greater than 34.09, it is faster to drive a car going 40 miles per hour.

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
