\"%28Distance%29+=+%28Speed%29+%2A+%28Time%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28Distance%29%2F%28speed%29%29+=+Time\"
\n" ); document.write( "You are told the speed is 1/12 miles per hour. You are told the distance is 5/6 miles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In order to divide fractions they need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator for 1/12 and 5/6 is 12ths.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F6+=+10%2F12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"%28%28Distance%29%2F%28speed%29%29+=+Time\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2810%2F12%29%2F%281%2F12%29+=+Time\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2F1+=+Time\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10+=+Time\"
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 10 hours to make the trip. That's a long day for a turtle!
