The speed express in terms of distance over time S = D/T
---Step#1: Calculating Speed
In this case the cart travele 1/4 miles in 13.6 sec.
So S=(0.25 miles ) / (13.6 sec)
---Step#2: Converting to MPH
In most cases speed is discribed as mph or miles-per-hour.
Solve this conversion
AMP Parsing Error of [S=(0.25miles/13.6sec)*(60sec/1minute)*(60minutes/1hour) ]: Invalid function ')*(60\sec/1\minute)*(60\minutes/1\hour)': opening bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 70. .

******Notice how the sec. and minutes cancel out and only the hour remain****
