How far would I have traveled if drove for 25 seconds at 72 mph
=========
25 sec = 25/3600 hr
----------
distance = rate*time = 72 mph * 25/3600 hr = 0.5 miles

There are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, so divide 1%2F3600 and you get 1 second converted into hour
1%2F3600=+0.0002777777777777778
so, 1+Seconds+=+0.0002777777777777778+Hours
then t=25+Seconds+=25%2A+0.0002777777777777778+Hours+=0.006944444444444444+Hours

if you drive at s=72+mph+=72%28mil%2Fh%29, then you will travel distance
d=s%2At
d=72%28mil%2Fh%29%2A0.006944444444444444h
d=72%28mil%2Fcross%28h%29%29%2A0.006944444444444444cross%28+h%29
d=72mil%2A0.006944444444444444+
d=0.4999999999999968mil+............round it
d=0.5mil+
