0 Aerah Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes BobbyGo!. But could you put it in a more "everyday" practical way? What you say points to something more specific that makes the solution a bit more fascinating I guess (at least it was for me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dgreening Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The obvious answer is fractions of an hour [or a minute]. 1/3 of an hour is 20 min 1/6 hour = 10 min 1/10 hour = 6 min ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dgreening Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 it wasn't me. and I did find a much more practical interpretation of the solution If you measure the time it takes to travel 1 mile [in Min], the second number will be your speed. [in mph] so 1:60 means that you travelled a mile in 1 minute and your speed is 60 mph! Is the the interpretation you were looking for??
