The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse a distance of x cm is given

Question:

The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse a distance of x cm is given by
t = x2 / 2D
where t is the time in seconds and D is the diffusion coefficient. Given that the diffusion coefficient of glucose is 5.7 x 10-7 cm2/s, calculate the time it would take for a glucose molecule to diffuse 10 mm, which is roughly the size of a cell.
