1 SPEED, DISTANCE Speed, distance problems can be solved with the following formula Speed = distance/time Let s take a typical example. A man went on a trip. His average speed was 60mph. If he traveled for four hours, how far did he go? Putting the known values into the formula we get 60 = X/4, where X represents the number of miles traveled. In order to get X alone we multiply both sides of the equation by 4. (4)(60) = (4)(X/4) 240 = X Therefore the man traveled 240 miles. Let s look at a similar example. There was a girl that ran at the speed of 200m/min. If she ran for 10 minutes, how far did she go. Putting the known values into the equation we get 200 = X/10, where X stands for the number of meters she ran. In order to get X alone we multiply both sides by 10. (10)(200) = (10)(X/10) 200 = X Therefore the girls ran 2000 meters.

2 Now, let s make the unknown variable the speed. In this example a lady went on a trip of 150km that took her 3 hours to complete. What was her average speed? Putting the known values into the equation we get X = 150/3, where X represents the speed. Dividing 150 by 3 we get X = 50. Therefore the lady averaged 50km/hour. Let s look at a similar example. A boy ran a 1600m race in 5 minutes. What was his average speed? Putting the known values into the equation we get X = 1600/5, where X represents the speed. Dividing 1600 by 5 we get X = 320. Therefore, the boy averaged 320m/minute. Now, let s make the unknown variable the time. In this example, a supertrain went 300 miles at 120mph. How long did it take? Putting the known values into the equation we get 120 = 300/X, where X represents the time. Our goal is to get X alone and out of the denominator so we multiply both sides of the equation by X. (120)(X) = (300/X)(X) results in 120X = 300. Next we divide both sides of the equation by X/120 = 300/120 results in X = 2.5. Therefore, it took 2.5 hours.

3 Let s look at a similar example. A cyclist pedaled 33km at 11km/hour. How long did it take? Putting the known values into the equation we get 11 = 33/X, where X represents the time. Once again our goal is to get X out of the denominator and alone. To do this we multiply both sides of the equation by X. (11)(X) = (33/X)(X) results in 11X = 33 Next we divide both sides of the equation by X/11 = 33/11 results in X = 3. Therefore it took 3 hours. Other speed-distance problems may appear to be more complicated, but in the end they are merely variations of this approach. Problems 1. A van traveled 216 km. in four hours.
