Question

If you are going somewhere that is 60 miles away and you're going 40 miles per hour the whole time how long will it take you to get there

Answer 1

Velocity * time = distance

40 (miles / hour) * t (hours) = 60 (miles)

Take note how the units work. miles/hour * hours = miles. This is an indication that a formula we picked is correct.

Now, looking at our formula (and neglecting units at this point)

40t = 60
t = 60/40
t = 1.5 hours
