One evening, as Mrs. MDSurveyor and I were out for our daily walk, we noticed that every time we passed a streetlight, we saw that our shadows were growing longer at different rates. We guessed it had to with our different heights. While I am 6 feet tall, the Mrs. is perfect at 5 feet 3 inches tall.
The streetlights were always 16 feet tall, and the temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The average elevation during the walk was 410 feet above sea level. The moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter was aligned with Mars. At one point during the walk, we thought we found a round "tuit" on the ground. We were exactly 24 feet from a streetlight, but to our chagrin it was just an old, flattened bottle top.
We strolled along at a leisurely pace of 2.3 feet per second, but we did speed up our walk later on to be able to stop for snowballs and get back home to see The Geocaching Vlogger.
Your task is to determine how fast the tip of Mrs. MDSurveyors shadow was moving, in miles per hour, when we were at the "tuit" and enter the result in certitude. Be sure to enter your answer to three decimal places as in this example "X.123" being careful to round correctly.
