Maths guy, how long would it take barry to cover this distance?

Fractions of a fraction of a second. Barry can run much much faster than light and at light speed this distance would take ~1.6 seconds.

Edit: corrected my incorrect math because i read mi as meters

This is clearly a comma-is-thousands number of miles (as is consistent with places that use miles).

It's 1.66 seconds at light speed.

Yeah, I read mi as m at first. Doesn't really change the statement since Barry can run trillions of times faster than light.

Also, Barry in the TV series saying, "Mach 20 is not a thing"
