Understanding Distance, Rate, and Time

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the rate of travel using the formula distance equals rate times time. It begins by setting up the equation with given values of distance and time, then demonstrates solving for the rate by dividing the distance by time. An alternative method is also presented, emphasizing the units of miles per hour. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the solution process.

What is the main formula used to solve the problem of finding the rate?

• Time equals distance times rate

• Rate equals distance times time

• Distance equals time divided by rate

• Distance equals rate times time

In the formula d = r * t, what does 'd' represent?

• Rate

• Speed

• Distance

• Time

If you travel 385 miles in 7 hours, what is the first step to find the rate?

• Add distance and time

• Divide distance by time

• Subtract time from distance

• Multiply distance by time

What is the result of dividing 385 by 7?

• 65

• 60

• 50

• 55

How many sevens are there in 38 when calculating 385 divided by 7?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 7

What is the remainder when 385 is divided by 7?

• 3

• 1

• 2

• 0

What are the units of the rate calculated in this problem?

• Minutes per mile

• Miles per hour

• Miles per minute

• Hours per mile

What is an alternative way to solve for the rate in the equation d = r * t?

• Multiply both sides by time

• Subtract time from distance

• Divide both sides by time

• Add rate to distance

What is emphasized by using the formula R = D / T?

• The time taken

• The speed of travel

• The distance covered

• The units of rate

What could have been done differently to solve the equation for R?

• Divide both sides by T

• Subtract D from both sides

• Add T to both sides

• Multiply both sides by R
