You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[ distance ] = [ rate ] x [ time ]
\n" ); document.write( "You can convert all the times to minutes
\n" ); document.write( "or you can convert them to hours
\n" ); document.write( "I'll convert to hours
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "[ minutes ] x [ hrs / min ] = [ hrs ]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15%2A%28+1%2F60+%29+=+1%2F4+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+20%2A%28+1%2F60+%29+=+1%2F3+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
