You can put this solution on YOUR website! how long would it take to slow down from 80 miles an hour in a quarter mile.
Assuming uniform acceleration:
s = at^2/2
v = at
s = vt/2
t = 2s/v = 2*(1/4)/80 = 1/160 hour = 22.5 seconds
==========================================
what is the rate of slow down per foot
1/4 mile = 1320 feet
80 mi/hr = 80*22/15 ft/sec = 352/3 ft/sec
Not sure what you mean by "slow down per foot"
