You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lets look at the question:
"You travel for 1.5 hours at 70 miles per hour. How far do you go?"
From here, you can tell that:
t=1.5h
r=70mi/h
d=x
Using your formula, d=rt, solve for d.
d=rt
d=105mi
If you are going 70 miles per hour, in one hour you go 70 miles. That's what miles per hour means -- the number of miles you travel in one hour. So if you go 70 miles in one hour, you must go half of that distance in one-half hour. 70 miles in the first hour plus half of 70 in the subsequent half hour.
