    Step-by-step explanation:

    A parachutists rate during a free fall reaches 153 miles per hour. To determine the rate in feets per second, we will convert hours to seconds. We will also convert the miles to feet.

    1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.

    1 mile = 5280 feets

    Therefore, it will become

    (153 * 5280) / 1 * 3600

    = 807840 / 3600

    = 224.4 feets per second

    153 miles per hour = 224.4 feets per second

    At this rate, the number of feets that the parachutists will fall during 15 seconds of free fall will be

    speed * time = 224.4 * 15 = 3366 feets
