--------------------
r is the speed in mi/hr
---
To find mi/hr, divide the miles by the hours.
Is that not obvious?

Something like this should not be any kind of trouble.
d=rt, and KNOWN are d and t. You wish solve for r.

d=rt
%281%2Ft%29d=%281%2Ft%29rt
highlight%28d%2Ft=r%29

This could have been done in MORE STEPS, but doing so should not be necessary. In fact most people would use FEWER steps.
