speed = distance/time

speed * time = distance

time = distance/speed

time = (1300.75 ft)/(25.25 ft/minute) = 51.5148 minutes

Answer: 51.5 minutes

The full answer is 51.5148515, however, rounded to the nearest tenth it is 51.5.

Explanation: Divided 1,300.75 by 25 1/4 to make this easier turn 25 1/4 into a decimal: 25.25. Now divided 1,300.75 by 25.25 and you get the number of minutes.
