An object will fall  feet in  seconds. How long will it
take for a quarter to hit the ground if it is dropped from 
the top of a tower that is  feet tall?

The quarter will fall  ft in  seconds. So, divide both
quantities by :

The quarter will fall  ft in  seconds.

Reduce  to 

The quarter will fall  ft in  seconds.

Multiply both quantities by :

The quarter will fall  ft in  seconds.
