Question 150258: I wasn't sure how to solve this one:
(It's not for homework, but my mind seems to be blocked for how I do the right sort of division here...)
If I travel at a speed of 40 miles per hour, and I have to travel a distance of 12 miles, how long will it take me to travel (those 12 miles)?

=
== ----> time to travel in 12 miles.
Thank you,
