Sam's rate = 10.32 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = 63756ft

time = 70 minutes

if 5280 feet = 1 mile

let the number of mile of 63756ft = y

5280 feet = 1 mile

63756 feet = y

cross multiply:

y (5280) = 1(63756)

5280y = 63756

y = 63756/5280

y = 12.075 miles

time in minutes = 70 minutes

let the time in hour = x

60 minutes = 1 hour

70 minutes = x

cross multiply:

x(60) = 1(70)

60x = 70

x = 70/60

x = 1.17 hour

Rate = distance/time

Rate in miles per hour = 12.075 miles/1.17 hour

Rate = 10.32 miles per hour
