John is traveling to a client meeting. He has to travel 100 miles (=100) and is driving at a speed of 60 miles per hour (60x).
\n" ); document.write( "Let's work with this first. $\"60x=100\"$ . Let's simplify that: $\"x=100%2F60\"$ , which simplified, is $\"x=5%2F3\"$ or $\"1%282%2F3%29\"$ . To translate that fraction into minutes, we'd simply multiply everything to get a denominator of 60. So, $\"1=60%2F60\"$ and $\"2%2F3=40%2F60\"$ . He spent 1 hour and 40 minutes driving. Add that to 9:00AM and you get 10:40 AM. \r

John reached at 10:40 AM. :) \n" ); document.write( "
