1 1/2 hours

Explanation:

Distance traveled is equal to speed multiplied by time:

d=st

Where d is distance traveled, s is the speed, and t is the time (here, it will be in hours, as we're using miles per hour).

Plugging in our distance and speed, we get:

60=40t

t=60/40=6/4=3/2 hours, or 1 1/2 hours

90 minutes ("1.5 hrs")

Explanation:

If you are travelling at "40 mph", then it will take 30 minutes to go 20 miles and 60 minutes to go 40 miles. Thus, it will take 90 minutes to go 60 miles.

Alternatively:

"Speed"("mph")= ("Distance"("miles"))/("time"("hours"))

40=60/(t)

t="1.5 hours"
