It would take 24 seconds to travel 5 miles.

Average speed = distance travelled/time taken

Or

$s = \frac{d}{t}$ $s=d/t$

So $t = \frac{d}{s}$ $t=d/s$

$t = \frac{5 \times 5280}{1100}$ $t=(5xx5280)/(1100)$

$t = 24 s$ $t=24s$

Note I have converted all distances into feet.

In your answer you worked out the speed in miles per second but that was not what the question was asking.

$T = \frac{L}{L . T^{- 1}}$ $T=(L)/(L.T^(-1))$

$T = T$ $T=T$
