+d+=+r%2At+
+1+=+144%2At+
+t+=+1%2F144+ hrs
-------------------
Note that
( hrs ) x ( min / hr ) = minutes
+%28+1%2F144+%29%2A%28+60+%29+=+60%2F144+ min
+60%2F144+=+5%2F12+ min
-----------------------
Also,
( min )*( sec/min ) = seconds
+%28+5%2F12%29%2A%28+60+%29+=+25+ sec
------------------------
It would take 25 seconds to go 1 mile
