Explanation:

Multiply the amount of feet in one mile by the amount of miles in the question(5,280 x 50 = 264,000)

Divide the amount of feet in 50 miles by the amount of minutes in 1 hour to get the amount of feet per mile (264,000 ÷ 60 = 4,400)

Divide the amount of feet per mile to get by the amount of seconds in a minute to get the amount of feet per second (4,400 ÷ 60 = 73.33)

Your answer rounded to the nearest whole number is 73
