60 mph = 1 mile / 1 minute = 1 mile / 60 seconds
Your Mother’s speed = 1 mile / 47 seconds
(She completed the same distance at a faster rate, so at this point your known speed is already higher than 60 mph.)
60 / 47 ~= 127%
1.27 x 60 mph = 76 mph!!
Yeah, you guys were way over the speed limit. Your Mother could very well have been arrested for a Reckless if a patrol officer had seen her!

Oh, I know how to compute it now–at the time I think we were a bit distracted by everything else going on. But thanks for the formula!!!
