Are you using the speed of light in a vacuum as your yardstick?
186,000 miles per second x 60 seconds
11,160,000 miles in a minute.

What do you mean by a minute? Do you mean a measure of time or a measure of an angle?
If its time, then you need the rate of speed to calculate it. You already have those answers above.
If its an angle, then you must be referring to minutes of latitude or longitude, where there are 60 minutes (') in one degree (°). So then it depends if you want to know how many miles are in 1' of longitude or 1' of latitude.
If its latitude, then that's easy. The distance from the north pole to the equator is 10,000 kilometers (along the earth's surface) or 90° in angular distance. 90° is 5400 minutes (90 x 60), so:
Distance / minutes = distance per minute
10000 km / 5400' = 1.85 km per '
You asked miles, but you didn't specify what kind of mile (a problem with the imperial system of measurements). There are 1.6 km in a statute mile, so 1.85/1.6=1.16
Therefore your answer is 1.16 statute miles per minute, or 1.0 nautical miles per minute.
If you are referring to longitude, then it is not possible to answer unless you define which latitude you are at. That's because you have 0 km of longitude around the earth at 90°N or 90°S, but 40,074 km at the equator which is at 0°.

60= 1min x 1 mi
120 = 30 sec x 1 mi
240 = 15 sec x 1 mi
480 = 7.5 sec x 1 mi
960 = 3.75 sec x 1 mi
1920 = 1.875 sec x 1 mi
3840 = 0.9375
7680 = 0.46875
15360 = 0.234375
30720 = 0.1171875
61240 = 0.05859375
122480 = 0.029296875
244960 = 0.0146484375
489920 = 0.00732421875
and keeps on going ( min = minute , mi = miles x hour , sec = second)

The nautical mile is defined to be the average distance on the Earth's surface represented by one minute of latitude.

depends on speed (60 miles an hour) is one mile a minute
