Answer:

396 feet per minute

Explanation:

Hello

I think I can help you with this

to find the difference of speed in feet per minute , we can find the difference and then convert miles per hour into feet per minute,also the equivalences must be known,in this case

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

Step 1

find the difference

Yuzo's speed=27 mph

jermaine's speed=22.5

difference=27 mph-22.5 mph=4.5 mph

Step 2

convert 4.5 mph into feet per minute

to do this, use mph as a fraction and multiply by a fractional with the equivalence in such a way that the units are canceled


(1 hour)/(60 min)=1\\\\(5280 feet)/(1 mile)=1\\\\\\

you are multiplying by one, you are not changing the quantity only the unit of measure


4.5 (miles)/(hour)*((1 hour)/(60 min) )*((5280 feet)/(1 mile))\\(4.5*1*5280\ miles\ hour\ feet)/(1*60*1\ hour\ min\ mile) \\396 (feet)/(min)

Have a great day
