Speed, Distance, and Time Problems

This video tutorial explains the fundamental concepts of speed, distance, and time, using a triangle method to illustrate their relationships. It provides examples of calculating each variable when given the other two, including a complex example involving unit conversion. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding units and using a calculator for more challenging problems.

What is the purpose of the triangle formula in speed, distance, and time calculations?

• To help remember the relationships between speed, distance, and time

• To convert units of measurement

• To calculate the area of a triangle

• To solve quadratic equations

If you travel at 20 mph for 3 hours, how far will you have traveled?

• 40 miles

• 50 miles

• 60 miles

• 70 miles

What is the formula to calculate distance?

• Distance = Speed x Time

• Distance = Speed / Time

• Distance = Time / Speed

• Distance = Speed + Time

If you know the speed and time, which operation will give you the distance?

• Division

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

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

• Subtract time from distance

• Add distance and time

• Multiply distance by time

• Divide distance by time

If you travel 100 miles in 4 hours, what is your average speed?

• 35 mph

• 20 mph

• 25 mph

• 30 mph

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• Speed = Distance x Time

• Speed = Distance / Time

• Speed = Time / Distance

• Speed = Distance + Time

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

• Multiply distance by speed

• Divide distance by speed

• Add distance and speed

• Subtract speed from distance

If you travel 120 miles at 60 mph, how long will it take?

• 1 hour

• 3 hours

• 2 hours

• 4 hours

What is the formula to calculate time?

• Time = Distance + Speed

• Time = Distance x Speed

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Time = Speed / Distance
