speed = dist/time (as in miles/hr)
The sneaky part here is that everything is in different units. You want to end up with minutes. So, convert everything to miles and minutes
11.6 km * mi/1.6km = 7.2 mi
so, plug and chug:
speed = dist/time
8.1 = 7.2/t
t = 8/9 hr
But we want minutes = 66*8/9 = 53 1/3 min.
