\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 400 meters to ft: 3.281*400 = 1312.4 ft
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 1312.4 ft to miles: \"1312.4%2F5280\" = .24856 miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 3 min, 59.12 sec to minutes 3 + \"59.12%2F60\" = 3.9853 minute
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 3.9853 min to hrs: \"3.9853%2F60\" = .06642 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Speed = dist/time
