+d+=+r%2At+
+t+=+d%2Fr+
-----------
+d+=+50%2A%2835%2F60%29+
+d+=+%285%2F6%29%2A35+
----------------
+t+=+%28+%285%2F6%29%2A35+%29+%2F+10+
+t+=+%28+5%2A35+%29+%2F+60+
+t+=+35%2F12+ hrs
----------------
( hrs ) x ( minutes / hr ) = minutes
+%2835%2F12+%29%2A60+=+175+ min
+175%2F60+=+2+%2B+55%2F60+ min
It will take her 2 hrs and 55 min
