Well, you know the distance (220 miles) and you know the speed (725 m/s), so divide one by the other. BUT, you will need to convert to compatible units. I suggest that you convert the distance of 220 miles to meters, do the division of time = distance/speed to get the time in seconds, then divide that by 60 seconds/minute to get the time in minutes.
