How to find constant speed:

Example:

What is the constant speed?

Open Ended

If I walk 10 miles in 2 minutes, what is my constant speed? Remember

 $\frac{dist}{time}$  

Multiple Choice

You bike 8 miles in 14 minutes.

 $\frac{dist}{time}$  

•  $\frac{8}{14}$  

•  $\frac{14}{10}$  

•  $\frac{14}{8}$  

Multiple Choice

You run 10 miles in 85 minutes.

 $\frac{dist}{time}$  

•  $\frac{85}{10}$  

•  $\frac{10}{85}$  

•  $\frac{15}{8}$  

Multiple Choice

You drive 30 miles in 45 minutes.

 $\frac{dist}{time}$  

•  $\frac{30}{45}$  

•  $\frac{40}{35}$  

•  $\frac{45}{30}$  

Using constant speed to solve problems

• If we know the constant speed and the time that it took to go somewhere, how can we find the distance?
