r, 99%2F2 yards%2Fminute
x, time in minutes
y, distance in yards

y=rx

x=y%2Fr

The exercise is a constant rates or a travel rates problem type.
What is rate? For travel, this is DISTANCE per TIME. Your description gives this as 99%2F2 YARDS per MINUTES. Now you substitute the needed numbers the right way in the formula...
