Distance = (rate)(time)
\n" ); document.write( "\"distance=%2830MPH%29%2820+min%281+hour%2F60+min%29%29\" The 1 hr/60 min is a conversion factor to have the same units as the rate. Note the top and bottom are equivalent, so we are multiplying by one, which does not change the value
\n" ); document.write( "\"distance=%2830MPH%29%281%2F3%29hr%29=10+miles\"ANSWER Distance is 10 miles
