Explanation:

Step1: Find distance

The distance from Room 103 to Room 117 is 86 - 22 = 64 ft.

Step2: Calculate time in seconds

Time in seconds = $\frac{64}{4.4}\approx14.55$ s.

Step3: Convert to minutes

Time in minutes = $\frac{14.55}{60}\approx0.24$ min.

Step4: Reason for longer time

Possible reasons: obstacles, slower - paced walking, stops.

Answer:
