How long does it take to go 20' while traveling 1.5 mph? How about at 2 mph?
----------
15 mi/hr = 22 ft/sec (I remember that, you can figure it out if needed)
--> 1.5 mi/hr = 2.2 ft/sec
---
d = r*t
t = d/r = 20 ft/2.2 ft/sec
t =~ 9.091 seconds
-------
2 mi/hr is 4/3 as fast --> 3/4 the time
t =~ 6.82 seconds
