If a car travels 75 kilometers per hour, then how far would it go in 20 minutes?
----------------------------
distance = rate*time
distance = 75 km/h*(1/3)hr
distance = 25 km

If an object is moving at 75 kilometers per hour, then in one hour it will travel 75 kilometers. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so since , 20 minutes is one-third of one hour. In one-third of one hour you would travel one-third of the distance you would travel in one hour.

Where you said you have a deadline for this, you used 13 exclamation points. Is there some sort of special meaning to this? I mean, does 13 exclamation points denote a greater sense of urgency than 12 of them? If so, how much greater? How should I prioritize helping you as compared to someone who uses 17 exclamation points? Is typing 13 exclamation points (something you did) more important than spelling Wednesday correctly (something you did not do)?
