Algebra.Com's Answer #432469 by josgarithmetic(39620)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Basic relation applied is speed x time = distance. This also means that (time)=(distance)/(speed).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To see how to manage the numbers, set-up a table. Format like: Speed, Time, Distance.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Going: 8 mph, ( ), D \n" ); document.write( "Returning: 6 mph, ( ), D.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You need to fill in the missing time information in the parentheses. That is where you use time=distance/speed.
