You can put this solution on YOUR website!
remember: Speed=distance%2Ftime
Let' see, given: S=50miles%2Fhour, d=unknown, t=n%28hours%29
So, 50%28miles%2Fhr%29=d%2Fn%28hours%29, cross multiply
d=50%28miles%2Fcross%28hour%29%29%28n%2Across%28hours%29%29
d=50%2An%28miles%29 ---------> the distance is CORRECT
Thank you,
