Distance, Rate, and Time Quiz

What is the formula used to calculate distance when rate and time are known?

• Distance = Time / Rate

• Distance = Rate / Time

• Distance = Rate * Time

• Distance = Rate + Time

If a car travels at 50 km/h for 2 hours, how far does it travel?

• 200 km

• 150 km

• 100 km

• 50 km

Two cars start from the same point and travel in opposite directions. If one travels at 49 km/h and the other at 57 km/h, how long will it take for them to be 265 km apart?

• 2 hours

• 2.5 hours

• 3 hours

• 3.5 hours

In the example with two cars, what equation is set up to find the time it takes for them to be 265 km apart?

• 49t - 57t = 265

• 49t / 57t = 265

• 49t * 57t = 265

• 49t + 57t = 265

What is the key concept to understand when solving distance, rate, and time problems?

• Always solve for rate first

• Understand which variable you need to solve for

• Draw a picture for every problem

• Always solve for distance first
