You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = rate * time
2/15 = 0.8 * t
divide each side by 0.8
%282%2F15%29%2F%288%2F10%29=t=
%282%2F15%29%2A%2810%2F8%29=t
%28%282%2A2%2A5%29%2F%2815%2A8%29%29=t
%28%282%2A2%2A5%29%2F%283%2A5%2A2%2A2%2A2%29%29=t
%281%2F%283%2A2%29%29=t
%281%2F6%29=t in hours
(1/6)(60 minutes) = 10 minutes
