You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+d+=+r%2At+
( miles ) = ( mi/hr )x( hrs)
1 1/8 = +9%2F8+
Let +t+ = time in hrs
+3%2F4+=+%28+9%2F8+%29%2At+
Multiply both sides by +8+
+2%2A3+=+9t+
Divide both sides by +9+
+t+=+6%2F9+
+t+=+2%2F3+ hrs
( minutes ) = ( hrs ) x ( minutes / hr )
+%282%2F3%29%2A60+=+40+
It will take 40 minutes
