How do you calculate distance if you know speed and time?

• Distance = Time / Speed

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Speed * Time

• Distance = Speed / Time

Which of the following is NOT a correct formula derived from the speed-distance-time triangle?

• Time = Speed / Distance

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Distance = Speed * Time

• Speed = Distance / Time

If you know the distance and speed, how do you calculate the time?

• Time = Speed + Distance

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Time = Speed / Distance

• Time = Distance * Speed
