Answer:

1) Assume that you covered the distance of 40 miles in "h" hours by bicycle. You need to find speed. So. speed = tex]\frac{40}{h}[/tex]

2) Assume that you have 40 pens, you wanted to give your "h" number of friends equally. The number of pens each will get
(40)/(h)

Explanation:

Case 1:

Assume that you covered the distance of 40 miles in "h" hours by bicycle. You need to find speed.

Distance = Speed*time

Speed =
(Distance)/(Time)

We know the distance covered = 40 and time = h

Speed =
(40)/(h)

Case 2:

Assume that you have 40 pens, you wanted to give your "h" number of friends equally. The number of pens each will get
(40)/(h)
