You can put this solution on YOUR website!
RT=D for rate time distance.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have \"R=unknown\", something for which to solve;
\n" ); document.write( "\"T=5%261%2F4\" hours;
\n" ); document.write( "\"D=350\" miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Keep your calculations in miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "\"R=D%2FT\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"R=350%2F%285%261%2F4%29\" miles per hour\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have no reason to convert anything into minutes. Your given values are in miles and in hours, and a very common unit for travel rates is MILES per HOUR.
