This one shouldn't be too bad.
There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile.
Make a proportion. $$\frac{ 1mile }{ 5,280ft }=\frac{ .15miles }{ x }$$
x= 792 feet. Now this number is the amount of feet in hours and it's asking for per minute so all you have to do is divide 792 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour and you will get 13.2 ft which is B.
