You can put this solution on YOUR website!
rate * time = distance.

rate is in miles per hour.
time is in hours.
distance is in miles.


when rate = 6 miles per hour and distance = 3 miles, this formula becomes:

6 * time = 3

solve for time to get time = 3/6 = 1/2 an hour.

1/2 an hour * 60 = 30 minutes.
