Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = rt, where d=distance, r=rate of speed, t = time
.
We are told;
r = 45 mph
t = 40 min
.
So, we have to convert 40 minutes into hours to be usable with mile/hr.
OR we have to convert 45 miles/hr into miles/minute.
.
There are 60 min/hr,
so dividing 40 min by 60 min/hr we have
40 min = 2/3 hr
.
d = 45 mph * 2/3 hr
d = 30 miles
.
Done.
