1 km = 1000 meters.

Find total meters: 80 km x 1000 meters per km = 80,000 meters.

Divide total meters by the given speed:

80,000 meters / 180 m/s = 444.44 seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

444.44. Seconds / 60 seconds per minute = 7.41 minutes = 7 minutes 24.42 seconds

Total time = 7 minutes 24.42 seconds

Round as needed.
