Problem
Shelby drives her scooter at a speed of miles per hour if it is not raining, and miles per hour if it is raining. Today she drove in the sun in the morning and in the rain in the evening, for a total of miles in minutes. How many minutes did she drive in the rain?

Solving gives and
We want in minutes,
Solution 2
Let be the time she drove in the rain. Thus, the number of minutes she did not drive in the rain is .
Since we are calculating the time in minutes, it is best to convert the speeds in minutes. Thus, the speed per minute when it is not raining is miles per minute, and miles per minute when it is raining. Thus, we have the equation,
