You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = rate x time
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+t+\"$ = time in hours
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 60 mi
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 40 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+60+=+40t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+60%2F40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+3%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "It will take her one hour and a half \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
