When looking for speed, it is distance/time. So for example we sometimes use miles per hour or miles/hour. For your question you will be using yards per second or yards/seconds.
440/52.2=8.43yds/sec or rounding down 8 yds/sec
440/52.2=8.43yds/sec or rounding down 8 yds/sec

since 1 mile = 1760 yards. and we can write 52.2 seconds as 522/36000 hours. we can solve it now. 440 yards = 1/4 mile now easily solve it. in mph his speed is 0.25*36000/(522)
