A certain bridge is 4,224 feet long. What constant rate, in miles per hour, must be maintained in order to walk across the bridge in 12 minutes? (1 mile = 5,280 feet)

A. 0.96

B. 1.5

C. 1.6

D. 4.0

E. 5.0
Distance in miles is 4224/5280
Time in hours is 12/60

Hence Speed = 4224/5280*60/12 =>4, Answer must be (D)

A. 0.96

B. 1.5

C. 1.6

D. 4.0

E. 5.0
\(S = \frac{D}{T}\)

\(D = \frac{4224}{5280}\) Miles & \(T = \frac{12}{60} = \frac{1}{5}\) Hours

Thus, Speed is \(\frac{4224}{5280}*5=4\), Answer must be (D)

You dont need to. Notice options a, b and c are very small compared to 4224/5280 which roughly = 4/5.

Only option D fits this approximation so therefore will be the answer.
