Convert seconds to minutes
[ seconds ] x [ minutes / second ] = [ minutes ]
min
------------------------------
Her rate in meters/min is:
m/min
------------------------------
[ distance ] = [ rate ] x [ time ]

-------------------------------
check the answer:
Suppose she walks for secs that is min
She will walk m in that time
------------------------------------------

OK
