If a dog runs 50 feet in 3.5 secs how many miles per hour does he run?

And how do you calculate this?

Someone please help me fast so I can finish my kids school project and let this thread die to avoid further embaressment. Thanks
x=50/3.5 = number of feet the dog runs per second
y=number of feet in a mile (google.com)
x/y=number of miles the dog runs per second
(x/y)*60*60=number of miles per hour

on the second question, you can just answer the dog runs (50/4.5) feet per second (you didn't ask for specific units)
