Distance and rate problem

The video tutorial explains how to solve a distance problem involving two people, Darrell and Jacob, traveling in opposite directions. It introduces the problem, identifies the unknowns, and sets up equations based on the distance, rate, and time formula. The tutorial then solves the equations to determine how long Jacob traveled, demonstrating the process of solving a basic distance and rate problem.

What is the average speed of Darrell as he travels towards the Ferry office?

• 20 mph

• 25 mph

• 35 mph

• 30 mph

Which formula is used to solve distance problems involving rate and time?

• Distance = Rate / Time

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Time / Rate

• Distance = Rate x Time

What is the unknown variable that needs to be determined in this problem?

• The time Jacob traveled

• The distance Darrell traveled

• The speed of Jacob

• The total distance both traveled

How far did Darrell travel in four hours?

• 170 miles

• 100 miles

• 200 miles

• 70 miles

How long did Jacob travel to be 170 miles apart from Darrell?

• 4 hours

• 3 hours

• 1 hour

• 2 hours
