Question 187932
You can use the distance formula for this: d = r*t where d = distance, r = rate (speed), and t = time of travel.
In this problem, {{{r = 12}}}mph and {{{t = 36}}} minutes but this can be written as a fraction of one hour or {{{t = 36/60}}}, so we have...
{{{d = 12(36/60)}}}
{{{highlight(d = 7.2)}}}miles.
