You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance = Velocity(Or Speed) x Time
D+=+V+%2A+T
Given: V+=+63.5km%2Fhr & D+=+889km
----------------------
889km+=+%2863.5km%2F1hr%29%2AT
Multiply both sides by (1hr/63.5km)
%281hr%2F63.5km%29%2A889km+=+%281hr%2F63.5km%29%2A%2863.5km%2F1hr%29%2AT
Notice that certain terms now cancel out.

Simplify
%28889hr%2F63.5%29+=+T
Simplify
highlight%2814hr+=+T%29
It will take 14 hours
