Rate miles per hour rounding to the nearest 10th. Shrub jogs 8 feet per second

To find the rate in miles per hour (rounded to the nearest tenth), we can convert the speed from feet per second to miles per hour.

### Step 1: Convert feet per second to miles per hour
- There are 5280 feet in a mile.
- There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

So, to convert from feet per second to miles per hour, use the formula:

\[
\text{miles per hour} = \text{feet per second} \times \frac{3600}{5280}
\]

For 8 feet per second:

\[
\text{miles per hour} = 8 \times \frac{3600}{5280} = 8 \times 0.6818 = 5.4545 \, \text{miles per hour}
\]

### Step 2: Round to the nearest tenth
\[
5.4545 \approx 5.5 \, \text{miles per hour}
\]

So, Shrub jogs at approximately **5.5 miles per hour**.
