Question 628049: johnny drove 35 miles in 10 minutes how fast was he going

60 min = 1 hour

1 min = 1/60 hour

1*10 min = 1*(1/60) hour

10 min = 10/60 hour

10 min = 1/6 hour

-------------------------------------------------------

d = rt

35 = r*(1/6)

6*35 = r

210 = r

r = 210

So he was going 210 miles per hour
