You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s = %28d%2Ft%29
given s = 60 mph and d = 300 miles
t = %28d%2Fs%29
t = %28300%2F60%29
t = 5 hours

You just divide 300 miles by 60 mph to find the answer which is 5 hours. Since you are diving the miles(m) gets cancelled out and you are left with h-hours.

d = R(T)
T+=+%28D%29%2F%28R%29
T+=+%28300%29%2F%2860%29
T= 5 hours
