Divide the distance in miles by the speed in miles per hour.

if distance d, speed s and time t, then
given:
d=600+km
s=65+mph+=104.6%28km%2Fh%29..............0.03 km/s is not correct

d=st
t=d%2Fs
t=600km%2F104.6%28km%2Fh%29
t=600cross%28km%29%2F104.6%28cross%28km%29%2Fh%29
highlight%28t=5.74h%29.........in case you need answer only in hours

but, if you want exact time, convert 0.74h into min: 0.74%2A60min=44.4min, and convert 0.4min into sec: 0.4%2A60sec=24sec
so, t=5h_44min_24sec........exact time
