You can put this solution on YOUR website!

700 mph is the rate
3000 miles is the distance
—
+d+=+r%2At+
where d = distance
r = rate
t = time
—
Solving for t gives: +t+=+d%2Fr+
You can now plug in the numbers (always make sure the unit are compatible first). In this problem you have mi/hr and mi, so you will get an answer in hrs.
