You can put this solution on YOUR website!

let d=3.67mil be a distance from your home to your grandparents’ home

If you can walk 4mil%2Fh, that is your speed v
to calculate how long will it take for you to walk to your grandparents’ home, you need to calculate a time t
the distance d is:
d=v%2At...solve for t

t=d%2Fv.......plug in values for d and v

t=3.67mil%2F%284mil%2Fh%29

t=3.67cross%28mil%29%2F%284cross%28mil%29h%29

t=3.67h%2F4

t=0.9175h

t=0.9175%2A60min

t=55.05min....round it to whole number

t=55min
