Answer:

4 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry no one has helped you in 40 minutes, so let me.

Theres a fun trick when it comes to saying something 'per' something;

as you can look at the word per as a fancy word for divide.

So if I have Xylophones per Megaphone then I'm basically saying:

Xylophones divided by megaphones

So in this case its 10 feet per 2 1/2 minutes and we'd understand it as 10/2.5

Lets show this

10 ft per 2 1/2 minutes = 10/2.5 ft/min = 4 ft/min

Hope this helps :)
