write the ratio of the two measurements in the unit indicated

Question

Roger Bannister ran 5, 280 feet in 4 minutes

Answer 1

To express the ratio of Roger Bannister's distance to time in the unit indicated, we can set it up as follows:

1. Distance: 5,280 feet
2. Time: 4 minutes

The ratio of distance to time can be written as: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{5,280 \text{ feet}}{4 \text{ minutes}} \]

Now, performing the division: \[ \text{Ratio} = 1,320 \text{ feet per minute} \]

So, the ratio of the two measurements is 1,320 feet per minute.
