Calculating with the Distance Speed Time Triangle

This video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science explains how to use the Distance-Speed-Time (DST) triangle to simplify calculations involving distance, speed, and time. The video provides examples of how to calculate each of these variables using the DST triangle, demonstrating the process of circling the needed variable and either dividing or multiplying the given numbers. The tutorial includes practical examples with a boat, a motorcycle, and a road trip scenario, illustrating how to find speed, distance, and time, respectively. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for daily math and science content.

What does the DST triangle help you calculate?

• Distance, Speed, or Time

• Distance and Time only

• Distance and Speed only

• Time and Speed only

If a boat travels 125 miles in 10 hours, what is its speed?

• 12.5 miles per hour

• 15.5 miles per hour

• 10.5 miles per hour

• 17.5 miles per hour

To find the speed of a vehicle using the DST triangle, you need to:

• Multiply time by speed

• Divide distance by time

• Multiply distance by time

• Divide time by speed

A motorcycle travels at 55 miles per hour for 3 hours. How far does it travel?

• 150 miles

• 170 miles

• 160 miles

• 165 miles

To find the distance traveled using the DST triangle, you need to:

• Multiply speed by time

• Divide speed by time

• Divide distance by speed

• Multiply distance by speed

If you need to travel 120 miles at 40 miles per hour, how long will it take?

• 5 hours

• 4 hours

• 3 hours

• 2 hours

To find the time required for a journey using the DST triangle, you need to:

• Multiply distance by speed

• Divide distance by speed

• Divide speed by distance

• Multiply speed by time
