Question 1068399
the figure travels at a rate of 30 pixels per second.


the formula would be distance = rate * time.


the distance would be equal to 12 inches * 85 pixels per inch = 1020 pixels.


the formula becomes 1020 pixels = 30 pixels per second * time.


solve for time to get time = (1020 pixels) / (30 pixels per second) = 34 seconds.


in 34 seconds, the character will run at a rate of 30 pixels per second and will achieve a distance of 34 * 30 = 1020 pixels which is a distance of 12 inches assuming 85 pixels per inch.


algebraically, you would probably solve as follows:


distance = rate * time.


d = distance
r = rate
t = time.


formula becomes d = r*t


d is given in pixels.
rate is given in pixels per second.
time is in seconds.


d = 12 inches * 85 pixels per inch = 1020 pixels.
r = 30 pixels per second.
t = time in seconds.


formula becomes 1020 = 30t


solve for t to get t = 1020/30 = 34 seconds.


unless there's something else going on that i don't know about, i believe this is what you are looking for.
