You can use the distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t where: d = distance (1600 feet in this problem), r = rate (speed, which is 10 ft/3 secs), and t is the time it takes to travel.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's rearrange the formula for t:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+d%2Fr\" Now substitute the given numbers:
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+%281600%29%2F%28%2810%2F3%29%29\" Evaluate this.
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+%281600%29%2A%283%2F10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+480\"Seconds. Convert to minutes by dividing by 60 secs per minute.
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=+8\"minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
