How do I get acceleration, distance, and time?

Homework Statement

While driving your car at 20 m/s (about 45 mph) along a country road one night, you suddenly see a deer in your headlights. Your car's mass is 1200 kg, and the coefficients of friction between its tires and the asphalt road are 0.4 and 0.6.
If you slam on your brakes and lock the wheels, how far will you skid before stopping if the road is level?
I have no idea on how or where to start.

Take a second and step back, then write down what each number of information represents. then see what equations use the information. Then make an attempt to solve

Certainly you know something.

Newton's Laws, friction, acceleration, velocity, time ...

How are they related?

Try using ΣF=Δp/Δt. You should find Δt from this equation. Then you use this one to find the acceleration: v=u-at. Can you find out what comes next?
