I know take a number lets say 50mph divided into 300miles = 6 So is the answer 60 mph correct? how would I figure out the answer to the question by only looking at 300mi in 5hrs? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #431159 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are three equations all related, you should memorize all three of them \n" ); document.write( "Find distance \n" ); document.write( "dist = speed * time \n" ); document.write( "written as \n" ); document.write( "d = s * t \n" ); document.write( "or sometimes \n" ); document.write( "d = r * t (for rate) \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Find Speed \n" ); document.write( "s = \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "With these three you should be able to calculate any unknown related to dist, speed and time \n" ); document.write( " |
