\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "distance = rate*time = 42 mph *14 hr = 588 miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "New speed equation::
\n" ); document.write( "rate = distance/time
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 588 miles/12 hrs = 49 mph
