The posted speed limit is 55 MPH. If you're driving 1000 feet per minute, are you going too fast?

So first figure out how much you would travel in an hour.

An hour is 60 minutes, so 60 * 1000 = 60000 feet per hour.

Now change that to miles. There are 5280 feet in one mile, so just divide 60000 by 5280 to find out how many sets of 5280 there are in 60000.

60000/5280 = about 11 mph

So you aren't going too fast.

So, 5,280 feet are in a mile. Since MPH is per hour (obviously), we need to multiply 1,000 by 60. This gives you 60,000. Divide 60,000 by 5280 to get the amount of miles in an hour. This would be roughly 11 miles per hour. Therefore, you wouldn't be going too fast, but too slow.
