Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = rate * time or d = rt
That's the formula.
------------------
1 mile = r * 117.2 seconds
r = 1 mi/117.2 seconds
r =~ 0.008532 miles per second
---------------------
PS There is no "rate of speed", there's rate, and there's speed. They're the same thing.

r=D/t
r=1*6.29
r=6.29 mph
