CONSTANT RATES SITUATION
RT=Q for constant rate R, time quantity T, amount of something done Q.

                   SPEED           TIME           CALORIES
WALKING             180                           
BICYCLE             260
TOTALS                              8              1800

BICYCLE             260            8-w           260(8-w)
TOTALS                              8              1800
