You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do I set up the following problem?
--------------------------------------------------
If it takes me 2 hours to drive an unknown distance at 45 miles/hr.,
how long will it take me to drive the same unknown distance at 30 miles/hr.?
-----
The "unknown" distance is (time)(rate) = 2*45 = 90 miles
----
If the rate is 30 mph, the time is:
time = distance/rate = 90/30 = 3 hrs.
