Distance = t [ 6 - t]
Time taken = t

$$Time\ taken\ to\ complete\ \frac{1}{6}\ of\ distance\ $$
$$\frac{1}{6}\ of\ t\ \left[\ 6\ -\ t\right]\ $$
$$\frac{\left[6t\ -\ t^2\right]}{6}$$
$$\frac{\left(\left[6-\ 1\right]\ \left[t^{1-2}\right]\right)}{6}$$
$$\frac{\left(\left[5\ \left[t^{-1}\right]\right]\right)}{6}$$
$$=\ 0.83\ \left[\ t^{-1}\right]$$
t = time in seconds
$$=\ 0.83\ 5^{-1}$$
