625 #"ft"/"min"xx"miles"/(5280" ft")=0.1184 "miles"/"min"#

Explanation:

I'm going to assume that we're talking about 625 #"ft"/"min"# (as opposed to feet per mile, which is merely a distance conversion metric).

We're not told how many minutes the conveyor is moving, but we do know the number of miles per minute:

625 #"ft"/"min"xx"miles"/(5280" ft")=0.1184 "miles"/"min"#
