You can put this solution on YOUR website! 28+14=42 minutes
42/60=7*6/10*6=7/10=.7
r*t=d
r*.7=42
7r=420
r=60
Amazingly the other tutor came up with the right answer after making two mistakes.
He used .07 which is wrong but also divided 42/.07 and got 60 which is also wrong.
42/.07=4200/7=600 But the answer is 60.
