\r\n" );
document.write( "To get the number of miles traveled, we multiply the speed in miles\r\n" );
document.write( "per hour times the number of hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As a specific example, to get the idea: \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "to find the number of miles traveled in 3 hours\r\n" );
document.write( "you would multiply the speed 65 by 3 hours and get 195 miles.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So in general:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "to find the number of miles, m, traveled in h hours\r\n" );
document.write( "you would multiply the speed 65 by h hours and get the m miles.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "miles = speed times hours\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "m = 65h\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "where m is the number of miles and h is the number of hours.\r\n" );
