MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Sarah is on a road trip and driving at a constant speed. After driving for 4 hours at 60 miles per hour, she wants to know how far she has traveled. What formula can Sarah use to find the distance she has traveled?
Rate = Time ÷ Distance
Area = Length × Width
Time = Distance ÷ Rate
Distance = Rate × Time
Answer explanation
Sarah can use the formula: Distance = Rate × Time to find the distance she has traveled. In this formula, "Rate" represents her speed (60 miles per hour), and "Time" represents the number of hours she has been driving (4 hours). By multiplying her speed by the time, she can calculate the total distance she has traveled during the 4 hours of driving.
Sarah's speed (Rate) = 60 miles per hour
Time = 4 hours
Distance = 60 miles/hour × 4 hours = 240 miles
Therefore, Sarah has traveled a distance of 240 miles during her 4-hour drive.
The correct answer is option c) Distance = Rate × Time.

Jenna is running in a race at a constant speed. She completes the race in 2 hours and covers a distance of 10 kilometers. What can Jenna do to find her average running speed?
Use the formula Speed = Distance × Time
Use the formula Time = Distance × Speed
Rearrange the distance formula to solve for rate
Rearrange the distance formula to solve for time
Answer explanation
Jenna can rearrange the distance formula, which is Distance = Rate × Time, to solve for her average running speed (rate). By rearranging the formula, she can find the rate by dividing the distance covered by the time taken. The formula would look like this: Rate = Distance ÷ Time.
Given information:
Distance (D) = 10 kilometers
Time (T) = 2 hours
Rearranged formula: Rate = Distance ÷ Time
Rate = 10 km ÷ 2 hours = 5 kilometers per hour
Therefore, Jenna's average running speed is 5 kilometers per hour.

A truck is driving at a speed of 50 miles per hour. How far will the truck have traveled after 2.8 hours?
120 miles
130 miles
140 miles
150 miles
Answer explanation
To find the distance traveled by the truck, use the formula: Distance = Rate × Time
Rate (speed of the truck) = 50 miles per hour
Time = 2.8 hours
Distance = 50 mph × 2.8 hours = 140 miles
Therefore, the truck will have traveled 140 miles after 2.8 hours.

30 km/h
48 km/h
40 km/h
50 km/h
Answer explanation
To find George's average speed, use the formula: Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Distance covered by George = 120 kilometers
Time taken by George = 2.5 hours
Speed = 120 km ÷ 2.5 hours = 48 kilometers per hour
