Convert seconds to minutes
\n" ); document.write( "[ seconds ] x [ minutes / second ] = [ minutes ]
\n" ); document.write( "\"+40%2A%28+1%2F60+%29+=+2%2F3+\" min
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Her rate in meters/min is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+50%2F%282%2F3%29+=+75+\" m/min
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "[ distance ] = [ rate ] x [ time ]
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+75x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check the answer:
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose she walks for \"+120+\" secs that is \"+2+\" min
\n" ); document.write( "She will walk \"+3%2A50+=+150+\" m in that time
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+75x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+150+=+75%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+150+=+150+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
