Answer: Sam's rate = 10.35 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Given, Distance covered by Sam = 63,756 feet

In miles, Distance =
$(63756)/(5280)= $$12.075\ miles$ [1 mile = 5280 feet]

Time taken = 70 minutes

In hour , time =
$(70)/(60)=(7)/(6) \ hr$ [ 1 hour = 60 minutes]

Sam's rate =
(Distance)/(Time)

$=(12.075)/(\frac76) \\\\(12.075)/(7)*6=\\\\= 10.35\ \text{ miles per hour}$

Hence, Sam's rate = 10.35 miles per hour.
