It would take 24 seconds to travel 5 miles.

Average speed = distance travelled/time taken

Or

#s=d/t#

So #t=d/s#

#t=(5xx5280)/(1100)#

#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=(L)/(L.T^(-1))#

#T=T#
