If I am being timed for 1.89 seconds how far will I go when I am travelling 55 MPH?
---
distance = rt = (55mph)(1.89 seconds) = (55miles/3600seconds)(1.89 seconds)
= (55*1.89/3600)miles = 0.028875 miles
-------------------------------------

If I travel .0285 miles at 55 MPH how long does it take me?
---
time = distance/rate = [0.0285 miles]/[55miles/hr]
---
= [0.0285/55] hrs
--
= 0.00051818...hrs

1) Time = 1.89 and Rate = 55MPH (note that the units of time are different, so you need to convert to a common unit. In this case, convert to seconds
The conversion factor from Hours to seconds is
Now solve for Distance

2)Distance = 0.0285M and Rate = 55M/H

55 mi/hr = 55 mi/3600 seconds (1 hr = 3600 seconds)
= 55/3600 mi/second
d = 1.89*55/3600 miles
d = 0.028875 miles
------------------------
If I travel .0285 miles at 55 MPH how long does it take me?
d = rt
t = d/r = 0.0285/55
t = 0.000518182 hours
