Answer 2

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.
