ACT SAT Prep determine the distance traveled between two trains

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the distance traveled by two trains using the formula distance equals rate times time. Train A travels at 50 miles per hour for three hours, while Train B travels at 70 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the distance for each train and find the difference between the two distances, resulting in a difference of 25 miles.

What is the formula used to calculate the distance traveled by an object?

• Distance = Speed / Time

• Distance = Speed x Time

• Distance = Speed + Time

• Distance = Speed - Time

How far does Train A travel if it moves at 50 miles per hour for 3 hours?

• 100 miles

• 200 miles

• 250 miles

• 150 miles

What is the distance covered by Train B if it travels at 70 miles per hour for 2.5 hours?

• 140 miles

• 150 miles

• 200 miles

• 175 miles

What is the difference in distance traveled between Train A and Train B?

• 15 miles

• 20 miles

• 25 miles

• 30 miles

Why is distance always considered a positive value?

• Because it can be negative

• Because it depends on direction

• Because it is a vector quantity

• Because it is a scalar quantity
