The problem asks to convert 125 miles per hour to pies per second. This problem is absurd, as "pies" is a unit of food, while miles is a unit of length. I will assume the problem meant to convert 125 miles per hour to feet per second. I will assume there are 5280 feet in a mile.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks to convert 125 miles per hour to pies per second. This problem is absurd, as "pies" is a unit of food, while miles is a unit of length. I will assume the problem meant to convert 125 miles per hour to feet per second. I will assume there are 5280 feet in a mile.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert miles per hour to feet per hour:
125mileshour=125mileshour×5280feet1mile=125×5280feethour=660000feethour125 \frac{miles}{hour} = 125 \frac{miles}{hour} \times \frac{5280 feet}{1 mile} = 125 \times 5280 \frac{feet}{hour} = 660000 \frac{feet}{hour}.
Next, convert feet per hour to feet per second:
660000feethour=660000feethour×1hour60minutes×1minute60seconds=66000060×60feetsecond=6600003600feetsecond=660036feetsecond=11006feetsecond=5503feetsecond183.33feetsecond660000 \frac{feet}{hour} = 660000 \frac{feet}{hour} \times \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes} \times \frac{1 minute}{60 seconds} = \frac{660000}{60 \times 60} \frac{feet}{second} = \frac{660000}{3600} \frac{feet}{second} = \frac{6600}{36} \frac{feet}{second} = \frac{1100}{6} \frac{feet}{second} = \frac{550}{3} \frac{feet}{second} \approx 183.33 \frac{feet}{second}.

3. Final Answer

125 miles per hour is equal to 5503\frac{550}{3} feet per second, or approximately 183.33 feet per second. If the problem intended pies per second then the answer is

0. The original question meant pies per second, therefore the answer is

0.
