I'm trying to join a forum but there's an anti-spam question in my way that I can't answer that I don't understand.

"Joe Redneck is driving at 75 mph to his meth dealer 51 miles away. How many minutes will it take?"

I'm sure the answer is so obvious, it's staring me in the face but since it involves numbers, I'm lost.

Can someone help?

show your work

51mi/ 75mi/h = .68

.68 hrs * 60 min = 40.8 min

.8min * 60sec = 48sec

So the apx time is 40min 48sec
