Answer:

  80 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

For a constant rate, the time is proportional to the distance.

  time/distance = t/(600 ft) = (120 s)/(900 ft)

  t = (600/900)(120 s) = 80 s . . . . . . multiply by 600 ft, cancel units of ft

The time required to reach the restaurant will be 80 seconds.
