\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "DISTANCE = RATE × TIME
\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "RATE = DISTANCE/TIME
\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "TIME = DISTANCE/RATE
\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "You are asked \"how fast\". That's asking for a RATE, so use the

\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "RATE = DISTANCE/TIME
\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "The distance = 28 miles and the time = 30 minutes or .5 hour.
\n" ); document.write( "`
\n" ); document.write( "RATE = 28 miles/(.5 hour) = 28/(.5) miles/hour = 56 miles/hour.
