To determine the speed of the equipment in miles per hour, we first need to convert the travel distance from feet to miles and the travel time from minutes to hours.

1. **Convert feet to miles**: There are 5280 feet in a mile. So, to convert 264 feet to miles, we divide 264 by 5280:

\[

\text{Miles} = \frac{264 \text{ feet}}{5280 \text{ feet/mile}} = 0.05 \text{ miles}

\]

2. **Convert minutes to hours**: Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can convert 3 minutes to hours by dividing by 60:

\[

\text{Hours} = \frac{3 \text{ minutes}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} = 0.05 \text{ hours}

\]

3. **Calculate the speed in miles per hour**: Speed is calculated as distance divided by time. Thus, we now have:

\[

\text{Speed} = \frac{0.05 \text{ miles}}{0.05 \text{ hours}} = 1 \text{ mile
