    He walked 2.75 miles in one hour (distance in miles)

    He walked 2 miles 3960 feet in one hour (distance in feet and miles)

    He walked 14520 feet in one hour (distance in feet)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using proportion to solve;

    Let x be the distance (in mile) walked in one hour

    11 miles = 4 hours

    x = 1 hour

    cross-multiply

    4*x = 11

    4x = 11

    Divide both-side of the equation by 4

    4x/4 = 11/4

    At the right-hand side of the equation, 4 will cancel-out 4 leaving us with just x

    x = 2.75 miles

    He walked 2.75 miles in one hour

    Converting it to feet and miles

    1 mile = 5280 feet

    0.75 mile = y

    y = 0.75*5280

    =3960 feet

    he walked 2 miles 3960 feet in one hour

    To convert it to feet

    1 mile = 5280 feet

    2.75 miles = x

    x = 2.75*5280

    x = 14520 feet

    he walked 14520 feet in one hour
