Answer:

Harry will take 21 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Harry =
\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}

Since, Harry covers 12 miles in 6 minutes,

Then the speed of Harry =
(12)/(6)

= 2 miles per minute

If he covers 0.7 miles then time taken by him will be,

Time taken =
\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Speed}}

=
(0.7)/(2)

= 0.35 minutes

≈ 0.35 × 60 seconds

= 21 seconds
