document.write( "Question 117476: I am traveling from Kansas city, mo to Flagstaff arizona. I want to know if I am traveling at speed of 55 mph going a distance of 1117.5 miles and stopping for 45 minutes for breaks. How many hours will I be traveling to get to my destination. Also if I have to slow down to 10 mph for about 30 miles many more hours will that add to my trip. How would I put this in an equation form. \n" ); document.write( "

Rate x Time = Distance
\n" ); document.write( "Time = Distance/Rate
\n" ); document.write( "Transfer all of the rates and distances into time.
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = Drive Time + Break Time
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = 1175 miles/55 mph + 45/60 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = 21.36 hours + 0.75 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = 22.11 hours or 22 hours 7 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "Remember to watch the units, all distances should be the same units (miles).
\n" ); document.write( "All times should be in the same units (hours).
\n" ); document.write( "If you have to slow down, that changes the distance and rate
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = (1175-30)/55 + 30/10 + 45/60
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = 20.82 + 3.0 + 0.75
\n" ); document.write( "Total Time = 24 hours 34 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "It adds 2 hours, 27 minutes minutes to slow down for the 30 miles at 10 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "
