Benzene, a known carcinogen, has been spilled on the laboratory floor and has spread to a length

Question:

Benzene, a known carcinogen, has been spilled on the laboratory floor and has spread to a length of 2 m. If a film 1 mm deep is formed, how long will it take for the benzene to completely evaporate? Ventilation in the laboratory provides for airflow parallel to the surface at 1 m/s, and the benzene and air are both at 25°C. The mass densities of benzene in the saturated vapor and liquid states are known to be 0.417 and 900 kg/m3, respectively.
