You can put this solution on YOUR website!
rate * time = distance
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 1 mile per hour
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 10 miles
\n" ); document.write( "rate * time = distance becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "1 * time = 10
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of this equation by 1 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 10 hours
\n" ); document.write( "are you talking about the end of the tenth mile or are you talking about the beginning of the tenth mile?
\n" ); document.write( "if you are talking about the end of the tenth mile then what i just showed you above is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "if you are talking about the beginning of the tenth mile, then that is a different problem.
\n" ); document.write( "the beginning of the 10th mile is the end of the 9th mile.
\n" ); document.write( "your equation would then be:
\n" ); document.write( "rate * time = distance
\n" ); document.write( "1 * time = 9
\n" ); document.write( "time = 9 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "it will take you 9 hours to get to the end of the 9th mile.
\n" ); document.write( "that will be the beginning of the 10th mile.
\n" ); document.write( "at that point you have 1 more mile to go in order to complete the whole 10 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
