Front

What is the formula to calculate time?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance?

Back

Front

If a car travels 300 m in 15 minutes, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 300 m / 15 min = 20 m/min.

Front

A cyclist travels at a speed of 15 km/hr for 2 hours. How far does the cyclist travel?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time = 15 km/hr x 2 hr = 30 km.

Front

What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?

Back

Speed, distance, and time are related by the formulas: Speed = Distance / Time, Distance = Speed x Time, Time = Distance / Speed.

Front

If a train travels 120 km in 2 hours, what is its speed?

Back

Speed = 120 km / 2 hr = 60 km/hr.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.
