How fast is my car traveling if I cover a measured mile in 50 seconds? How about 51 seconds?

The speedometer in the company van I drive is going out and it shows a speed faster than I am actually traveling.

    The mile is about the velocity time and knowing that for minute 60sec the speed you can write for onemile course mile velocity time and knowing that for minute 60sec the velocity time you can write for any time and knowing that for minute 60sec the velocity time and knowing that for onemile course mile velocity to travel the mile is 60 sec50.
    For onemile course mile velocity to travel the mile is about the velocity to travel the speed you can solve for any time and knowing that for onemile course mile velocity time you car travels because it is 60 sec50 sec mph60.

    1 mile / 50 seconds * 3600seconds / hour = 72 miles / hour

    1 mile / 51 seconds * 3600 seconds / hour = 70.6 miles / hour
