You can put this solution on YOUR website!
rate * time = distance.
rate = 585 kilometers per hour.
distance = 1400 kilometers.
rate * time = distance becomes 585 * time = 1400
solve for time to get time = 1400 / 585 = 2.393162393 hours.

2.393162393 hours * 585 kilometers / hour = 1400 kilometers.

your solution is 2.393162393 hours.
