<PRE><B>Question 261269</B>
    If you go 28 minutes to go 50 miles how fast are you going? how do you figure it out?
.
speed = &quot;distance&quot;/&quot;time&quot;
.
In your case: &quot;distance&quot; = 50 miles
and 
&quot;time&quot; = 28 minutes
.
So, 
Speed = 50/28 but this is miles/min we normally see miles per hour so we need to convert the units:
.
50 miles       60 minutes
----------- * ----------
28 minutes      1 hour
.
Notice the minutes &quot;cancel&quot; leaving:
(50)(60)/28 = 107.14 mph
