500ft/1minute

The rate which deviates from the choices
given is 500ft/1min
Since, 60mi/hr and 88ft/s =1440mi/day

To illustrate this hypothesis we can solve and convert 60miles/hr

60 x 24 = 1440

hence, 60miles/hr = 1440miles/day


88ft/s

  1. 88ft = 0.016667miles
  2. 60 seconds = 1 minute
  1. 60 minutes = 1 hr
  1. 24 hours = 1 day

Hence, in conversion



60 sec x 60 min x 24 hours = 86400s

0.016667 miles x 86400 sec  = 1440 mi/day

88ft/s = 1440miles/day
