Use the fact that:
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = Rate*Time
\n" ); document.write( " $\"60+=+85%2AT\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 85 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T+=+60%2F85+=+12%2F17\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To determine how long in minutes, multiply by 60
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T+=+60%2A%2812%2F17%29+=+42.35\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So it takes about 42 minutes to drive 60 miles at 85mph \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
