To fins the rate in feet/year we must change first the measurements to the units required

inches to feat

minutes to years

[tex]22in\cdot\frac{1ft}{12in}=\frac{11}{6}ft[/tex][tex]15\min \cdot\frac{1h}{60\min}\cdot\frac{1day}{24h}\cdot\frac{1year}{365\text{days}}=\frac{1}{35040}\text{years}[/tex]

to find the rate divide the distance over the time

[tex]\frac{\frac{11}{6}ft}{\frac{1}{35040}\text{year}}=\frac{11\cdot35040ft}{6\text{year}}=\frac{385440}{6}=\frac{64240ft}{\text{year}}[/tex]
