You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 mph = 5280/60 feet per minute = 88 feet/minute
So 50 mph = 4400 feet/ minute
So 9000 feet will take 9000/4400 = 90/44 = 2 2/44 = 2 1/22 or about 2 minutes 3 seconds
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5280 feet in a mile
9000/5280= miles
or 50*5280 fph
50*5280/60=fpm feet per minute
rt=d
50*5280/60*t=9000
4400t=9000
t=2.0405 minutes
t= about 2 minutes 3 seconds
