First find the number of seconds in an hour:

 60 seconds per minute x 60 minutes per hour = 3600 seconds per hour.

Now multiply 3 feet by 3600 seconds to find out how many feet per hour:

3 x 3600 = 10,800 feet per hour slower

Divide 10,800 by 5,280 ( feet in a mile) = 2.05 miles per hour slower (Round to 2 miles per hour)

Now subtract that from Aneesha's speed:

50  -  2 = 48 miles per hour
3 feet per second = 3 * 3600 = 10.880 feet per hour

= 10880 / 5280 = 2.05 mph

Answer is 50 - 2  = 48 mph
