Descent to a beacon?

Hi All,
I am preparing for g/nav exam and have come across a type of question that i dont seem to have a formula for.It is the type where u need to lose a certain amount of height by a certain range,using a certain groundspeed but with no glide slope angle.I have tried fiddling with every type of glideslope formula i have but all seem to need the angle! Any ideas? Im sure it's a doddle to anyone with half a mind for maths which unfortunately excludes me!

Cheers

Yorky
