First off, we neee to convert the units:

1 miles = 5280 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes

In this case:

60 miles = 5280×60 = 316800 feet
1 hour = 60 minutes

To find the answer, which is the speed,”we divide the length by it's time:


(316800)/(60) \\ = \ ( \ 5280* 60)/(60) \\ = 5280

Therefore the answer is C. 5280 ft/min.

Hope it helps!
