You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance to be traveled = 20 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed at which you're traveling = 70 miles per hour = 70 miles/ 60 minutes
\n" ); document.write( " = 7/6 miles per minute\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the time taken by you to reach boulder city be t.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that Speed = $\"+%28distance+traveled%29%2F+%28time+taken%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, 7/6 miles per minute = 20 miles/t
\n" ); document.write( " 7*t = 6*20 {Cross multiplication}
\n" ); document.write( " 7t = 120
\n" ); document.write( " t = 120/7
\n" ); document.write( " or t = 17.14 minutes\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, it will take 17.14 minutes for you to reach there.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
