Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Answer 2

Answer: A) 264ft/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Based on the information given in the problem, the speed of the track  runner was 3 miles per hour ($3\frac{mi}{h}$).

2. If you want to know the speed of the track runner in feet per minute, you need to apply the following proccedure:

$(3\frac{mi}{h})(\frac{5280ft}{1mi})(\frac{1h}{60min})=\frac{(3)(5280)}{60}=264\frac{ft}{min}$

3. Therefore, the answer is the option A.
