Answer 2

What variables are you used to using for your Distance Formula? I'd like to use one that actually makes sense to you :D heh.

d=rt
d=st

Any of those look familiar? :O

Answer 3

Answer 4

In this problem you're given a DISTANCE, 475 miles.
and a RATE, 62 miles/hour.

The way we relate distance and rate is which this formula,\[\large d=r\cdot t\]In this problem we're trying to solve for t, the amount of time it will take to travel the given distance. So we need the formula to be written like this,\[\large t=\frac{d}{r}\]And we were given,\[\large d=475 \; mi, \qquad r=62 \; mi/h\]
