guys, I thinking breaking it down into miles per minute is over complicating things.

for example, I find it a hell of a lot easier this way...

At 15 mph, how far do you travel in 12 hours and 48 mins?


like you said Chris, 12 hours gets you 12x15=180miles.

Now, as has been mentioned a lot, your 6x tables comes into play. 48 minutes is 8x6, and with 6mins being a tenth of an hour, 48mins then becomes 8/10 of an hour. So, 15mph x8/10 which is 12.

Total being 192miles.

12
18
24
30
36
42
....

etc etc
