There are 5280 feet in a mile.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
There are 24 hours in a day.
He moves at 2 feet every 3 minutes.
We multiply by 20.
This means he moves 40 feet every 60 minutes (one hour)
Now we multiply by 24.
He moves 960 feet every day.
5280 / 960 will gives us how many days it will take to move a mile.
5.5 days
5 days 12 hours. <---- Answer
