Distance, Rate, and Time Problems

This video tutorial focuses on solving distance rate time problems involving boats and airplanes. It explains how to set up and solve problems where a boat travels upstream and downstream, considering the current's speed. The tutorial also covers a similar problem with an airplane traveling with and against the wind. By using distance rate time tables, the video demonstrates how to calculate the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the airplane and wind.

What equation represents the distance traveled upstream?

• d = (b + c) * 7

• d = (b + c) * 3

• d = (b - c) * 7

• d = (b - c) * 3

What is the speed of the boat in still water?

• 12 km/h

• 8 km/h

• 14 km/h

• 10 km/h

How is the speed of the boat verified?

• By measuring the current speed

• By comparing distances upstream and downstream

• By calculating the average speed

• By checking the time taken
