You are walking on a moving walkway in the airport. The length of the walkway is 57.1 m. If your velocity relative to the walkway is 2.99 m/s, and the walkway moves with a velocity of 1.71 m/s, how long will it take you to reach the other end of the walkway?

The equivalent velocity that you are traveling at would be 1.71+2.99=4.7m/s. At this speed it would take 57.1/4.7=12.14 seconds to reach the end of the walkway.
