You can put this solution on YOUR website!
( distance ) = ( rate x ( time )
+d+=+r%2At+
+d+=+3+ mi
+r+=+9+ mi/hr
--------------
+3+=+9t+
+t+=+3%2F9+
+t+=+1%2F3+ hrs
--------------
convert hours to minutes
( hours ) x ( minutes / hour ) = minutes
+%281%2F3%29%2A60+=+20+
20 minutes added to 7:30 is 7:50 AM
