According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5.0 kilometres per hour (km/h), or about 3.1 miles per hour (mph)."
Speed = 3.1 mph
Distance = 3/5 or 0.6 miles
Time = ?
Time = Distance / speed
Time = 0.6/3.1
Time = 0.1935 hours approximately.


It takes 0.1935 hours or 11.61 minutes to cover 3/5 miles.
