----
distance/rate = time
-----
785miles / 0.58 miles/min = (785/0.58)min = 1353.45 min = 22.56 hours

given:
s=.58mil%2Fmin
d=785mil
find time: t
use: d=s%2At
->t=d%2Fs
first convert s=.58%28mil%2Fmin%29 into mil%2Fh
s=%28.58mil%2960%2Fh
s=34.8%28mil%2Fh%29

->t=785mil%2F%2834.8mil%2Fh%29
->t=%28785%2F34.8%29h
->t=22.56h
->t=22h34min
