60 seconds = 1 minute

60*60 seconds = 60*1 minute

3600 seconds = 60 minutes

3600 seconds = 1 hour

1 second = 1/3600 hours

2 seconds = 2/3600 hours

2 seconds = 1/1800 hours

-------------------------------------------------------

So if you drove for 2 seconds, then you also drove for 1/1800 hours

d = rt

d = 12*(1/1800)

d = 12/1800

d = 1/150

So you drove 1/150 miles, which converts to (1/150)*(5280 ft/1 mi) = 5280/150 = 35.2 feet
