Answer 1

A. 14,520 ft

Explanation:

To start off this problem, we need to find how many miles James walks per hour. To do that, lets divide 11 by 4.

`x=(11)/(4)`

`x=2.75`

Next, since 5,280 feet are in a mile, we need to multiply 2.75 by 5,280:

`x=2.75(5,280)`

`x=14,520`

James walked 14,520 ft. in one hour.
