You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The basic equation you should learn is distance divided by time equals speed.
D/T = S
We know D = 100 and we know S = 60.
We need to get T on its own. So we times both sides by T to get
D = S x T
Then divide both sides by S to get
D/S = T
100/60 = T
T = 1.6666 hours which is 1 hour and 2/3 of an hour.
So it is 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Does that make any sense?
