Answer: A) 264ft/minute


Explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, the speed of the track runner was 3 miles per hour (
3(mi)/(h)).

2. If you want to know the speed of the track runner in feet per minute, you need to apply the following proccedure:


(3(mi)/(h))((5280ft)/(1mi))((1h)/(60min))=((3)(5280))/(60)=264(ft)/(min)

3. Therefore, the answer is the option A.
