Well first you gotta find out how many minutes are in an hour Which everyone knows is 60 then you find out how many times 6 goes into 60 which is ten. Then I believe you multiply 50 by 6 to get 250 miles per hour. I'm not to sure on that but I hope it helps!

6 min : 50 miles
1 min : 50/6 = 8.3 miles

60 min : 1 hour
8.3*60=498

About 498 miles per hour.
