Peacock mantis shrimps (Odontodactylus scyllarus) feed largely on snails. They shatter the shells of their prey by delivering a sharp blow with their front legs, which have been observed to reach peak speeds of 23 m/s. What is this speed in feet per second?

Answer:

[tex]75.46 \;ft/s[/tex]

Explanation:

You can use the conversion factor

[tex]1\;m=3.28084 \;ft[/tex]

Then, write the value to convert and multiply it by the conversion factor:

[tex]23 \;\frac{m}{s} *\frac{3.28\;ft}{1\;m}[/tex]

Cancelling the meter units and operating 23*3.28:

[tex]23 \;\frac{1}{s} *\frac{3.28\;ft}{1}=75.46 \frac{ft}{s}[/tex]
