For the 1st mile,
+d+=+r%2At+
+1++=+6%2At+
+t+=+1%2F6+ hr
+%281%2F6%29+%2A60+=+10+ min
------------------
She spent 10 minutes walking the 1st mile,
so there were +90+-+10+=+80+ minutes
left to walk the remaining 2 miles.

Hi,

Yola walked a distance of 3 miles in 90 minutes. 

If her speed for the first mile was 6mph  or 6mi%2F60min+=+1mi%2F10min

  90min - 10min = 80min
