In terms of just units:
[ ft / sec ] x [ miles / ft ] = [ miles / sec ]
----------------------------------
Then do the division:
[ 1 mile ] / [ miles / sec ] = [ sec ]
-------------------------------
Filling in the numbers:
+11%2A%28+1%2F5280+%29+=+.002083+ miles / sec
-------------------------------------
+1+%2F+.002083+=+480+ sec
It will take 480 sec to travel 1 mile
-------------------------------
Also note that +480+ sec =
+480+%2F+60+=+8+ minutes
