3.2 minutes

2.0 mls + 330yds x 2 = 2.375 mls

2.375 / 50 x 60 = 2.85 minutes.

My maths is very rusty nowadays, so suggest you await one of the experts to either agree or show the correct answer??

I was making 330 yard to be .225 of a mile, but using an online converter it is .19mile.
60/50 is 1.2 x 2.19 makes 2.63 minutes.

sarumite

grasscarp 330yds is 0.1875 mls i.e. 330 / 1760.
