Answer: J) 2.27 minutes

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert from feet to miles. To do this, we divide by 5280 since there are 5280 ft in a mile.

8981 ft = 8981/5280 = 1.70094696969697 approximately

The bridge is roughly 1.7009 miles long.

Traveling at 45 mph would mean that it takes...

time = distance/speed

time = (1.7009 mi)/(45 mph)

time = 0.0378 hours

Multiply this by 60 to convert to minutes

0.0378 hours = 0.0378*60 = 2.268 minutes

This value rounds to 2.27 minutes

This final answer is approximate since nearly every other value mentioned is also approximate.
