#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
- Distance = 25 miles
- Speed = 5 miles per hour
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{25 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ miles per hour}} = 5 \text{ hours}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{5 \text{ hours}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
- Distance = 150 miles
- Time = 3 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{150 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ hours}} = 50 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{50 \text{ miles per hour}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
- Speed = 60 miles per hour
- Time = 4 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 60 \text{ miles per hour} \times 4 \text{ hours} = 240 \text{ miles}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{240 \text{ miles}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
- Speed = 80 km/h
- Time = 3 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 80 \text{ km/h} \times 3 \text{ hours} = 240 \text{ km}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{240 \text{ km}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
- Distance = 480 km
- Time = 6 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{480 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 80 \text{ km/h}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{80 \text{ km/h}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
- Distance = 12 miles
- Speed = 3 mph
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{12 \text{ miles}}{3 \text{ mph}} = 4 \text{ hours}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{4 \text{ hours}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
- Speed = 60 mph
- Time = 2 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 60 \text{ mph} \times 2 \text{ hours} = 120 \text{ miles}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{120 \text{ miles}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
- Speed = 10 mph
- Time = 3 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Distance} = 10 \text{ mph} \times 3 \text{ hours} = 30 \text{ miles}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{30 \text{ miles}}
\]
---
#### Solution:
We use the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
- Distance = 10 km
- Time = 2 hours
Substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{10 \text{ km}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 5 \text{ km/h}
\]
#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{5 \text{ km/h}}
\]
