To determine the time it takes to travel a distance at a given speed, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance is 227 feet and the speed is 8.3 mph. However, we need to ensure that the units are consistent, so let's convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per hour:
1 mile = 5280 feet
Speed in feet per hour = 8.3 mph * 5280 feet/mile = 43,944 feet/hour
Now we can calculate the time it takes to travel 227 feet:
Time = Distance / Speed = 227 feet / 43,944 feet/hour
To simplify the calculation, we can convert the time to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so:
Time = (227 feet / 43,944 feet/hour) * 60 minutes/hour
Time = 0.310 minutes (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, when traveling at a speed of 8.3 mph, it takes approximately 0.310 minutes (or approximately 18.6 seconds) to travel a distance of 227 feet.
