How long would it take to travel 14.25 NM at a groundspeed of 114 knots?

Explanation:
Time equals distance divided by speed. At 114 knots, you cover 114 nautical miles in 60 minutes, which is 1.9 NM per minute. To go 14.25 NM, take 14.25 ÷ 1.9 = 7.5 minutes. (Equivalently, 14.25 ÷ 114 = 0.125 hours = 7.5 minutes.)
