It takes stu, a slimy slug, 20 minutes to travel from his favorite bush to the local trach can (a trip of 30 meters), how far can he travel in 1 hour (60 minutes)?

distance = rate x time
30 m = rate x 20 min
Solve for rate = 30 m/20 min = 1.5 m/min
Now redo d = rt and plug in 1.5 for rate and 60 min for time and solve for d.
You can do it with ratio/proportion, also
(30 m/20 min) = (x m/60 m)
x = ?
30 m = rate x 20 min
Solve for rate = 30 m/20 min = 1.5 m/min
Now redo d = rt and plug in 1.5 for rate and 60 min for time and solve for d.
