if car is traveling at a rate of s=34+%28mil%2Fh%29, at this rate, the car will travel in t=20min distance:
d=s%2At
d=34+%28mil%2Fh%29%2A20min......now we need convert minutes in hours: 20min=%2820%2F60%29h=%281%2F3%29h

d=34+%28mil%2Fh%29%2A%281%2F3%29h

d=%2834%2F3%29+%28mil%2Across%28h%29%2Fcross%28h%29%29

d=11.33mil
