You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = rt, where d=distance, r=rate of speed, t = time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We are told;
\n" ); document.write( "r = 45 mph
\n" ); document.write( "t = 40 min
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, we have to convert 40 minutes into hours to be usable with mile/hr.
\n" ); document.write( "OR we have to convert 45 miles/hr into miles/minute.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "There are 60 min/hr,
\n" ); document.write( "so dividing 40 min by 60 min/hr we have
\n" ); document.write( "40 min = 2/3 hr
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "d = 45 mph * 2/3 hr
\n" ); document.write( "d = 30 miles
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
