Answer:
Explanation:
speed = distance/time
If you have the distance, and you want the time it takes to transverse it, you’ll want to flip the speed into its inverse, 1/v, or by the ratio that is the rate of change in time per change in distance, and multiply that by the change in distance. Then the change in distance units cancel each other out. And you are left with units of time.
t = distance * 1/v
or
t = distance * (change in time / change in distance)
100 miles * 1/v = 100 miles * 1/(60 miles/1 hour)
= 100 * 1 hour/60 miles = 5/3 hours
To change to minutes:
5/3 hours = 5 hours/3 * 60 minutes/1 hours = 100 minutes
If you multiply the speed, which is a rate of change in distance per change in time, by the change in time, you’ll get change in distance. This is because the time units cancel out.
v = speed = delta distance / delta time
v*t = distance
