[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the equivalent feet per minute for 70 miles per hour, we first need to convert miles to feet and hours to minutes.

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet.

70 miles * 5280 feet/mile = 369,600 feet

1 hour is equal to 60 minutes.

So, to find feet per minute, we divide 369,600 feet by 60 minutes:

369,600 feet / 60 minutes = 6,160 feet per minute.

Therefore, 70 miles per hour is equal to 6,160 feet per minute.

This means that if you are traveling at 70 miles per hour on the interstate, you are covering a distance of 6,160 feet every minute.
