In units:
( mi / hr ) x ( ft / mi ) x ( hr / min ) = ft / min
and
ft / ( ft / min ) = min
------------------
+55+%2A+5280+%2A+%281%2F60%29+=+4840+ ft/min
+10+%2F+4840+=+.002066+ min
and
( min ) x ( sec/min ) = sec
+.002066+%2A+60+=+.124+ sec
It will take a car .124 sec to travel 10
ft at 55 mi/hr
------------------------------
At 60 mi/hr,
+60+%2A+5280+%2A+%281%2F60%29+=+5280+ ft/min
+10+%2F+5280+=+.001894+ min
+.001894%2A60+=+.114+ sec
It will take a car .114 sec to travel 10
ft at 60 mi/hr
