Here's a question that many people get wrong, yet it's such a simple answer.
If you have a vehicle that travels 80mph, how long will it take you to travel 80 miles?

On the face of it, 1 hour (neglecting acceleration an assuming steady progress at 80mph)...
... [i]but[/i]...
You did not ask "How long will it take to travel 80 miles at 80mph?"
You stated the vehicle is capable of travelling at 80mph, but[i] then [/i]asked the time any of us would take over the journey!
We might for example drive that vehicle the whole distance at a steady 60, and then it would take 1hr 10min.
Or indeed we might not even use that vehicle, but use public transport, cycle, or even walk - though walking would probably need spreading over 2 or 3, even 4, days.

@ArishMell I was basically asking, in terms of constant speed....
