To find out how fast you are descending in an elevator per minute when traveling at a speed of 260 feet per hour, you can convert the speed from feet per hour to feet per minute since there are 60 minutes in an hour.
\[ \text{Speed in feet per minute} = \frac{\text{Speed in feet per hour}}{60} \]
\[ \text{Speed in feet per minute} = \frac{260}{60} \]
\[ \text{Speed in feet per minute} \approx 4.33 \text{ feet/minute} \]
Therefore, if you are traveling at a speed of 260 feet per hour in an elevator, you are descending at a rate of approximately 4.33 feet per minute.
