546 / 1.3 = 420 seconds

420 / 60 = 7 minutes (60 seconds = 1 minute)

answer
It takes nick 7 minutes to get to Sara's house

Rearrange the formula to solve for time. Which is the distance over the rate. Then divide 546 meters by 1.3 meters per second. The meter units cancel each other out leaving you with : t: 420.
