D=rt
t=D/r
t=12/60
t=.2 hrs=12 min

D=rt Start with the distance-rate-time formula.


12=60%2At Plug in D=12 and r=60.


12%2F60=t Divide both sides by 60 to isolate 't'.


0.2=t Divide 12%2F60 to get 0.2.


t=0.2 Rearrange the equation.


So it will take 0.2 hours (which is 60%2A0.2=12 minutes) to go 12 km traveling at 60 kilometers per hour.
