In the first step, you multiplied the seconds by the 60 to get 1/60th of a second as the unit for time. Therefore, the answer that you came up with was actualy 13939.2 feet per 1/60th of a second. I think the answer should be 3.872 feet per minute. I belive that you went wrong by multiplying 60 instead of dividing it. Thank you for your time!
