You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distance = rate*time
d = r*t
d = 50 km
r = 10 km/hr
t = ?
Using above formula, substitute in given information
50+=+10t
Divide both sides by 10
5+=+t
Time is 5 hours, convert to seconds
5+hr+%2A+%2860+min%2F1+hr%29+%2A+%2860+sec%2F1+min%29+=+%285%29%2860%29%2860%29+=+18000+sec
Time is 18,000 seconds
