I think this is the answer there are 240 seconds in 4 minutes so they want to know how much feet per second. I divided 5,280 in 240 second answer
24 1/2.

Answer: 22 feet per second

Explanation:

Hi, the question asks for the speed rate in feet per second.

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, 4 minutes x 60 = 240 seconds.

So, he ran 5,280 feet in 240 seconds.

To calculate the speed rate in feet per second we simply have to divide the distance (5280) by the time (240):

5280 feet / 240 sec = 22 feet per second

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
