Answer:

She is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.

Explanation:

Given:

The rate of walking is 90 yards per minute.

Now, to find the rate in feet per second.

1 yard = 3 foot.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

So, first we find the rate of walking per second in yard =
90/ 60

Therefore by dividing we get =
1.5 yard

Now, we find the rate of walking per second in feet =
1.5* 3

So, by multiplying we get =
4.5 feet

Therefore, she is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.
