Speed, Distance, and Time Calculations

The video tutorial on the Tech Math Channel, hosted by Josh, covers calculations involving speed, distance, and time. It explains how to calculate speed using distance and time, and provides examples for better understanding. The tutorial also covers associated calculations, such as determining distance given speed and time, and calculating time given distance and speed. The video emphasizes the importance of unit consistency, especially when dealing with time in minutes and hours.

What is the basic formula for calculating speed?

• Speed = Time / Distance

• Speed = Distance / Time

• Speed = Distance x Time

• Speed = Time x Distance

If a car travels 130 km in 5 hours, what is its speed in km/h?

• 26 km/h

• 30 km/h

• 25 km/h

• 20 km/h

What is the purpose of the triangle method in speed calculations?

• To calculate speed only

• To remember formulas for speed, distance, and time

• To convert units of speed

• To measure time accurately

How do you calculate time if you know the distance and speed?

• Time = Speed x Distance

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Time = Speed / Distance

• Time = Distance x Speed

A car travels 330 miles at a speed of 60 mph. How long does it take?

• 6.5 hours

• 5 hours

• 5.5 hours

• 6 hours

What is the equivalent of 30 minutes in hours?

• 0.5 hours

• 0.3 hours

• 0.6 hours

• 0.4 hours

If an object moves at 100 km/h for 0.5 hours, what distance does it cover?

• 50 km

• 100 km

• 25 km

• 75 km

Why is it important to convert minutes to hours in speed calculations?

• To avoid using decimals

• To simplify the calculation

• To make the calculation faster

• To ensure units match for accurate results

What should you do if you get a decimal in time calculations?

• Round it to the nearest whole number

• Convert it to seconds by multiplying by 60

• Ignore it

• Convert it to minutes by multiplying by 60

What is the final step in calculating distance using speed and time?

• Add speed and time

• Multiply speed by time

• Divide speed by time

• Subtract time from speed
