You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1st question: Set up a proportion so you can find how many
\n" ); document.write( "miles you would travel in one hour or 60 minutes:
\n" ); document.write( " 0.6/2 = x/60
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 36
\n" ); document.write( " x = 18 miles in 60 minutes or 18 miles per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Policeman to catch you he must average 18miles an hour over
\n" ); document.write( "a 1.2 mile course.
\n" ); document.write( "He starts at 0mph so must get up to a speed of 36mph in order
\n" ); document.write( "to average 18mph, which is your speed.\r
