Speed is a ratio of distance to time, and this is expressed as a fraction.  The UNITS should be connected to each number.  This helps in calculations.


45 miles per hour means  {{{(45/1)(MILES/HOUR)}}}.


{{{SPEED=DISTANCE/TIME}}}
If multiply left and right sides by TIME, the result is still a correct equation.
{{{SPEED*TIME=TIME(DISTANCE/TIME)}}}


{{{highlight_green(SPEED*TIME=DISTANCE)}}}



How far traveled in 3.6 hours, if the travel were done at {{{(45*miles)/(1*hour)}}}?


{{{((45miles)/(1*hour))*3.6*hours}}}


{{{(45*3.6*miles)/1}}}


162 miles
