I'm in the process of joining the Police service and as a part of the entrance I'm working on my maths and seem to have hit a wall with speed / distance x time. Can't find much on the internet regarding this. Baring in mind I've been out of school for some time now, I've had to relearn everything.
speed = distance / time
distance = speed * time
time = distance / speed
Now, for example, what if the question was as follows;
A car has traveled 62 miles and the journey has taken 45 minutes.
Answer using this method: 62/45 = 1 r 17
How can I get the speed? What is the further step here? I understand this method works if you write it in hours, but it doesn't work in minutes. How can I make all of these methods work in minutes?
