.
first, convert 60 ft to miles:
60 feet * 1mile/5280feet
60/5280
.011364 miles
.
"distance formula":
d = rt
where
d = 60
r = 101
t is what we're looking for
.
t = d/r
t = .011364/101
t = .0001125 hours
or
t = .0001125 hours * 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min
t = 0.405 seconds (time it takes to hit the batter)
