A little common sense might be useful here.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When you think of speed, you would normally think...miles per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Miles (distance) per (for each) hour ( time) or \"distance%2Ftime\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, for your problem, distance = 770 miles and time = 120 minutes or 2 hours.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"distance%2Ftime+=+770+miles%2F2+hours\" = \"385+miles%2F+hour\" = 385 miles per hour.
