Calculating Distance and Rate Problems

Distance = Rate + Time

Distance = Rate - Time

Distance = Rate × Time

Distance = Rate / Time

A measure of time taken to travel a distance

A constant value with no units

A comparison of two quantities with the same units

A ratio comparing miles to hours

It is the total distance traveled

It is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

It is the time taken to travel the distance

It is the number of hours traveled

Adding the rate and time

Dividing the rate by the time

Multiplying the rate by the time

Subtracting the time from the rate
