Distance, Rate, and Time Problems

This video tutorial covers problem-solving using distance, rate, and time formulas. It explains how to use these formulas to find one variable when the other two are known. The video includes examples of solving for time, distance, and rate, using real-world scenarios like driving and running. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of substituting values correctly and using reciprocal operations when necessary. It concludes with additional examples and encourages students to practice independently.

What is the main focus of today's lesson?

• Problem-solving using distance, rate, and time formulas

• Understanding algebraic expressions

• Solving equations

• Learning about geometry

Which formula would you use to find the distance?

• Rate = Distance / Time

• Distance = Rate x Time

• Time = Distance / Rate

• Distance = Time / Rate

In the example of Helena's trip, what information is needed to find the time?

• Distance and time

• Rate and time

• Distance and rate

• Only the rate

How long did Helena's trip to Niagara Falls take?

• 5 hours

• 6 hours

• 3 hours

• 4 hours

What formula is used to find the distance Santiago's class traveled?

• Distance = Rate x Time

• Rate = Distance / Time

• Time = Distance / Rate

• Distance = Time / Rate

How far did Santiago's class travel to the museum?

• 150 miles

• 140 miles

• 130 miles

• 120 miles

If the bus traveled at 55 miles per hour for 2.5 hours, what would be the new distance?

• 135 miles

• 140 miles

• 145 miles

• 137.5 miles

What formula is used to find the rate if distance and time are known?

• Rate = Distance x Time

• Rate = Time x Distance

• Rate = Distance / Time

• Rate = Time / Distance
