Answer by josmiceli(19441) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Convert +5000+ meters to +5+ km
+d+=+r%2At+
+5+=+65%2At+ ( where t is in hours )
Divide both sides by +65+
+t+=+5%2F65+
+t+=+1%2F13+ hrs
---------------
In terms of units:
minutes = ( hrs ) x ( min / hr )
+%28+1%2F13+%29%2A%28+60%2F1+%29+=+60%2F13+
+60%2F13+=+4.615+ minutes
