First, to make things easier, let's turn 5/4 into a decimal given a second is equal to 1000 milliseconds.
5/4 = 1,25
1,25 * 1000 = 1250 milliseconds = 1.25 seconds
So, we've found that 45 yards can be covered in 1.25 seconds. Now we'll use the rule of 3:
45 - 1.25
80 - x
Now we solve:
(80 * 1.25) / 45 = x
100 / 45 = x
2,22... = x
So, according to our answer, 80 yards can be covered in 2,22 seconds, which in fractions would be:

Consider rectangular box with
The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as
In your case,
Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).
From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.
Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).
Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)
