this is a rate problem.  you have a rate of travel: $$\frac{55\text { miles}}{1\text{ hour}}$$

If you go 55 miles every hour, and you need to travel 310 miles, does your guess of 6 minutes seem reasonable?  1 hour = 60 minutes.

Where motion is concerned, a common formula is (distance) = (rate) * (time).

In this particuloar problem you are given the distance and the rate; your job is to find the time elapsed during this trip.  Solve the above equation for time, and then plug in the given values for "distance" and "time."
