Distance Formula

Front

What is the Distance Formula?

Back

The Distance Formula is d = rt, where d is distance, r is rate (speed), and t is time.

Front

How do you calculate distance traveled?

Back

Distance traveled can be calculated by multiplying the rate of speed by the time traveled: d = rt.

Front

If a car travels at 60 miles per hour for 2 hours, how far does it travel?

Back

d = rt = 60 miles/hour * 2 hours = 120 miles.

Front

What is the rate if a person walks 15 miles in 3 hours?

Back

Rate = Distance / Time = 15 miles / 3 hours = 5 miles per hour.

Front

If a boat travels 40 miles in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

The speed of the boat is 40 miles per hour.

Front

What does 'rate' refer to in the context of distance?

Back

Rate refers to the speed at which an object is moving, typically measured in miles per hour.

Front

If a cyclist rides for 4 hours at a speed of 12 miles per hour, how far do they go?

Back

d = rt = 12 miles/hour * 4 hours = 48 miles.

Front

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

Back

Time can be found using the formula t = d/r.

Front

If a runner completes a 10-mile race in 1 hour and 30 minutes, what is their average speed?

Back

Average speed = Distance / Time = 10 miles / 1.5 hours = 6.67 miles per hour.

Front

What is the relationship between distance, rate, and time?

Back

Distance is directly proportional to both rate and time; if either rate or time increases, distance increases.
