You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember: d = rt or t = d/r where d = distance, r = rate (speed), and t = time.
In your problem, d = 15 miles, r = 35 mph, and you need to find t.
t = 15 miles/35 miles per hour.
t = 0.43 hours Convert this to minutes by multiplying by 60 minutes per hour.
t = 25.7 minutes.
