: What is Sam's rate as stated?
To calculate Sam's rate in miles per hour, we first need to convert the distance from feet to miles and the time from minutes to hours.
To convert the distance:
63,756 feet ÷ 5,280 feet/mile = 12.08 miles
To convert the time:
70 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1.17 hours
Finally, divide the distance by the time:
12.08 miles ÷ 1.17 hours ≈ 10.39 miles per hour
Therefore, Sam's rate is approximately 10.39 miles per hour.
