\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You need to apply:
\n" ); document.write( "d = rt
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "d is distance
\n" ); document.write( "r is rate or speed
\n" ); document.write( "t is time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"time to arrive at St Paul\" = \"stop-over time\" + \"flying time\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"stop-over time\" = 1 hour
\n" ); document.write( "\"flying time\" = 1150/300 = 3.83 hours
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"time to arrive at St Paul\" = 1 + 3.83 = 4.83 hours
\n" ); document.write( ".83 * 60 = 50 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "\"time to arrive at St Paul\" = 4 hours 50 minutes
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "9:30 am + \"4 hours 50 minutes\" = 2:20 PM
