1mil=1.609344km
63mil=63%2A1.609344km+=101.388672km
so,63%28mil%2Fh%29=101.388672%28km%2Fh%29
to travel d=1700km at s=101.388672%28km%2Fh%29 will take
t=d%2Fs

t=1700cross%28km%29%2F%28101.388672%28cross%28km%29%2Fh%29%29

t=%281700%2F101.388672%29h%29

t=16.77h%29 ...convert .77h into min .77h=.77%2A60min=46.2min, and you can round it to 46min or convert .2min into seconds .2=.2%2A60seconds=12seconds
so, to travel d=1700km at s=101.388672%28km%2Fh%29 will take
t=16h%29 46min12seconds
