Given:

v = 20 m/s

t = 3 min

We can determine the time it would take to travel 25m to the west by simply using velocity to solve the time.

Formula for velocity:

v = d/t

t = d/v

Solution:
Substitute the values of v and d, to the formula for time in terms of velocity.

t = d/v

t = (25m) (20 m/s)

t = 1.25 s

Final answer:

t = 1.25 s
