.
60 kph is 60 kilometers per hour, or 1 kilometer per minute.

Now you can easily complete the solution on your own.

You can solve it using equation, or simply using single arithmetic operation - division, or even using your fingers.

+d+=+r%2At+
+t+=+d%2Fr+
+t+=+8+%2F+60+
+t+=+2%2F15+ hrs
Convert hrs to min
[ hrs ] x [ min/hr ] = [ min ]
+%28+2%2F15+%29%2A60+=+8+
The car takes 8 min to reach the school
