Question 55242
Amber drove to Connor's house at 43 mph. Connor's house is twenty-six miles away. How long did it take her to arrive at Connor's house? Express the following as a fraction. 
Distance (d)= rate (r) times (*) time(t)
Rate=speed
{{{highlight(d=r*t)}}}
Solve the formula for t by dividing both sides of the = sign by r:
{{{d/r=rt/r}}}... r/r=1 so...
{{{d/r=(1)t}}}
{{{d/r=t}}}
{{{t=d/r}}}...your d=26 and r=43, substitute them in and you have:
{{{highlight(t=(26/43)hr)}}} Don't forget your units of hours.
Happy Calculating!!!
