In front of me is Walkenbachs excel bible 2003. Chapter 10 page 220. Figure
10-10.

There are two cells
B2 giving a distance (the example gives 1.50 miles).
C2 giving a time needed to run that distance (the example gives 00:18:45).

Now in D2 he makes the calculation =B2/(C2*24)
This gives the speed in mph.

The part I find difficult to understand is the "24"....

My normal feeling lets me divide B2 by C2 to give me a distance per
'minute'. The result of this, times 60, would give me mph.
Now I think I know this 'minute' I mention is wrong. But I find it difficult
to understand why to multiply by 24. Can somebody explain it more
understandable?
