If George travels 12 miles and his car averages 50 miles per hour, how long will it take George to complete the distance? Express this situation in an equation, making "t" the variable for time.
---------------
time = distance/rate
---
t = 12 miles/50 mph
---
t = (6/25)hr = (6/25)*60 min
---
t = 14.4 minutes
