The video tutorial addresses a problem of commuting 18 miles to work with a speed limit of 65 mph. The speaker is 5 minutes late and decides to drive at 80 mph to save time. Using the equation D = R * T, the tutorial calculates the time taken at both speeds and determines the time saved by speeding. The time saved is converted from hours to minutes and seconds, revealing that the time saved is less than 5 minutes, meaning the speaker will still be late.
