First convert \"4%262%2F3\" to an improper fraction:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 4 to get 12. Now add 2 to 12 to get 14. So the improper fraction is \"14%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So now we have a time \"t=14%2F3\" and a rate \"r=540\". Plug these into the distance-rate-time formula \"d=rt\" to find d\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=540%2814%2F3%29\" Plug in \"r=540\" and \"t=14%2F3\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=2520\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the plane flew 2,520 miles
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
