Rate and Distance Problems

The video tutorial covers solving uniform unequal distance problems using various scenarios. It explains how to set up equations for rate, time, and distance, and solve them to find unknowns. Examples include Achilles and Hercules, a student and a middle-aged man, Frank and Stein jogging, Napoleon and Wellington, and Helen and Paris. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visual aids and logical assumptions when time is not explicitly given.
