You need to know how fast they are walking.
\n" ); document.write( "The amount of weight they're carrying doesn't matter other than it can change how fast they walk.
\n" ); document.write( "So pick a speed in feet/sec would be convenient.
\n" ); document.write( "Then once you know that
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t=D%2FR=175%2FR\"$ $\"sec\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So divide the distance (175 feet) by the speed (R feet/sec) to get the number of seconds it takes.
\n" ); document.write( "Average walking rate is about 5 ft/sec.
\n" ); document.write( "At that rate, it would take $\"175%2F5=35\"$ $\"sec\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
