You need to convert the miles to feet (there are 5280 feet per mile) so there are x feet in 350 miles....and convert the hours to minutes (there are 60 minutes per hour so there are x minutes in 5 hours.....set this up in proportion form remember feet across from feet and minutes across from minutes so 1848000ft/300 mins=x feet/1 minute. Cross multiply....1848000 * 1 = 1848000 and divide by 300 minutes = 6160 feet per minute...BRAVO! you got it?
