You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Who is [He] in your question? Not the eagle, right? The eagle is an [IT] not a [He] for [IT] is an animal not a person. I assume you meant [IT] by the word [He].
We use D = rt.
6 = 30t
6/30 = t
1/5 = t
Now, 1/5 of an hour is 1/5 times 60 minutes per hour = 12 minutes.
Eagles are fast!
