given:
the speed of s=30mil%2Fh
d=3.9mil
find: time t
d=st
t=d%2Fs
t=3.9mil%2F%2830mil%2Fh%29
t=3.9cross%28mil%29%2F%2830cross%28mil%29%2Fh%29
t=3.9%2F%2830%2Fh%29
t=3.9h%2F30
t=0.033333333333333333333333333333333h
t=0.033333333333333333333333333333333%2A60min
t=2min

---------------
d = r*t
t = d/r = 3.9 mi/30 mi/hr = 0.13 hours
t = 7.8 minutes
