Question 737792: How long does it take to travel 200ft at speed of 3MPH?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d=r*t can also be written as t=d/r
So we have t+=+%28200ft%29%2F%283+miles+per+hour%29
But the units don't match!
So we need to convert feet into miles.
Using the conversion equation 1 mile=5280 feet, selecting the one with feet in the denominator so that feet will cancel:
1=%281mi%29%2F%285280ft%29=%285280ft%29%2F%281mi%29
