(5.4 mile/hour) x (5,280 feet/mile) x ( 1 hour / 60 minute)

= ( 5.4 x 5,280 / 60) feet/minute

= 475.2 feet/minute

The distance ran by the jogger in 1 hour = 5.4 miles
We already know that
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 mile = 5280 foot
So
The distance ran by the jogger in 60 minutes = 5.4 * 5280 foot
= 28512 foot
Then
The distance ran by the jogger in 1 minute = (28512/60) foot
= 475.20 foot
So the joggers exact rate is 475.20 feet per minute. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
