To find out how far Raymond pedals in one minute, we first calculate his speed in feet per second (ft/s).
He pedals 8 feet in 2 seconds, so his speed is:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{8 \text{ feet}}{2 \text{ seconds}} = 4 \text{ feet per second}
\]
Next, we need to find out how far he moves in one minute. One minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, we can calculate the distance he covers in one minute by multiplying his speed by the number of seconds in a minute:
\[
\text{Distance in one minute} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
\[
\text{Distance in one minute} = 4 \text{ feet per second} \times 60 \text{ seconds} = 240 \text{ feet}
\]
Thus, Raymond moves **240 feet** in one minute.
