At 60 mph a car will travel 1 mile in 1 minutes.

200mph/60=3.33333333 times faster.

5280/3.3333333333= 1584 ft per minutes

Nope, it is 5280 * 10/3 = 17600 ft/min .

1584/60= 26.4 ft per second = 316.8 inches

1 meter = 39.370 inches

2.5 meters= 98.425 inches

316.8 / 98.425 = 3.218 seconds is the answer.

Wasn't this problem worked out in post #8 of this thread?
