Question 494619: During a workout at the gym, you set the treadmill at a pace of 55 meters/second. How many minutes will it take you to walk 2.5 miles?

Thank you for your help- I can not seem to figure out the setup for this. I want to say I need to use the rate x time = distance formula?

During a workout at the gym, you set the treadmill at a pace of 55 meters/second. How many minutes will it take you to walk 2.5 miles?
-----
time = distance/rate
---
55 (meters/sec)(.62 mile/1000 meters)(3600 sec/1 hr)
--
= 122 miles/hour
---------------------------------------------
time = 2.5 miles/122 mph = 0.0204 hrs = 1.2219 minutes
