You can put this solution on YOUR website!
recall: d=s%2At where d is distance, s is speed, and t is time
if a car is traveling s=70%28mil%2Fh%29, to go 50mil it will take:
t=d%2Fs
t=50mil%2F70%28mil%2Fh%29

t=50cross%28mil%29%2F70%28cross%28mil%29%2Fh%29

t=%2850%2F70%29h
t=0.7142857142857143h
t=0.71%2A60min
t=42.6min
t=42min0.6%2A60seconds
t=42min36seconds
