Speed, Distance and Time

What is the formula for calculating speed?

• speed = distance × time

• speed = distance ÷ time

• speed = time ÷ distance

• speed = time × distance

How can the formula for speed be rearranged to find distance?

• distance = speed ÷ time

• distance = speed × time

• distance = time ÷ speed

• distance = time × speed

How can the formula for speed be rearranged to find time?

• time = distance × speed

• time = speed ÷ distance

• time = distance ÷ speed

• time = speed × distance

What do you need to calculate one of the variables (speed, distance, or time)?

• Only the speed

• Only the distance

• The other two variables

• Only the time

What is an example of using formulas in real life?

• Calculating the area of a circle

• Calculating speed using distance and time

• Calculating the volume of a cube

• Calculating the weight of an object

What is necessary to find the time taken for a journey?

• The speed of travel and the length of the journey

• The weight of the vehicle

• The number of passengers

• The type of road

Which of the following is NOT a way to rearrange the speed formula?

• speed = distance ÷ time

• distance = speed × time

• time = distance ÷ speed

• speed = time × distance

What is the key point about using formulas?

• They are only used in math class

• They can model real-life situations

• They are only for scientists

• They are not useful in everyday life

What is the formula to calculate speed if you know distance and time?
