You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Total distance-already walked=distance left to walk:
10000ft-550ft=9450ft You have 9450 feet left to walk.
.
Distance left/rate=time left to finish:
9450ft/(210ft/min)=45 minutes.
.
ANSWER: It will take you 45 minutes more if you have already walked 550 feet.
