Algebra.Com's Answer #131632 by monika_p(71) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! rate unit is mile/min (R=D/T) in this case you have R=1mile/25min =0.04 mile/min \n" ); document.write( "having R you can find time Felicia needs to walk 7miles \n" ); document.write( "D=R*T \n" ); document.write( "T=D/T=7/0.04=175min \n" ); document.write( " |
