You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need an answer in km/hr, so you must covert 1 hour and 45 minutes to hours
\n" ); document.write( "To convert minutes to hours, the units are:
\n" ); document.write( "(minutes) x (hours/minute) = hours
\n" ); document.write( "Plugging in numbers:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+45%2A%281%2F60%29+=+3%2F4+\", so there are \"3%2F4\" hours in \"45\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "Speed is (distance) / (time)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+42+%2F+%281+%2B+3%2F4%29\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+42+%2F+1.75\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+\" km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
