Answer: 59.99 feet per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The average walking speed R of a person living in a city of population P in thousands is modeled by the function
[tex]R(P) = 0.37P + 0.05[/tex] , where R is in feet per second.
If the population of Newport News is 162,000, then the average walking speed of people living in Newport News will be :-
[tex]R(P) = 0.37(162) + 0.05=59.99[/tex]
Hence, the average walking speed of people living in Newport News = 59.99 feet per second.
