Question
Excel 2004, Mac 10.6.1
My speed in minutes per mile: Distance (4.25) / Time (60) = 14.12 (in F25)
In cell (H25) I have INT(F28) which gives me 14
In cell (I25) I have (F28-H28)*60) which gives me 7
What's the formula for: Minutes Per Mile?

Answer
Don,

   The formula for minutes per mile is total minutes divided by total distance.

   I'm sorry I can't make much sense of the formulas inyour question, since they refer to cells whose contents are unknown.  I have no idea what's in F28 or H28.

   I'm sure this seems like a snap useless answer, but I really don't get what you're driving at.
