    Number of miles ran by Sarah in 1 hour or 60 minutes = 10 miles

    Then

    The number of miles ran by Sarah in 45 minutes = (10/60) * 45 miles

    = (45/6) miles

    = 15/2 miles

    = 7.5 miles

    Now we already get from the question certain important data. From those data we come to know

    1 mile = 5280 feet

    So

    7.5 miles = (5280 * 7.5) feet

    = 39600 feet

    By running 39600 feet the amount of calories burnt by Sarah = 744 calories

    So

    By running 1 foot, the amount of calories burnt by Sarah = (744/39600) calories

    = 0.019 calories

    = 0.02 calories

    So Sarah burns 0.02 calories per feet.
