Speed-Distance-Time Formula

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$

First, derive the formula to solve for the time.

$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$

$\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}$	$=$ $=$	$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$	Cross multiply

$\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}}$	Divide both sides by Speed

Next, substitute the known values to the derived formula.

$Speed$ $\text(Speed)$	$=$ $=$	$30 km/hour$ $30 \text(km/hour)$
$Distance$ $\text(Distance)$	$=$ $=$	$120 km$ $120 \text(km)$

$\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}}$

	$=$ $=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{120\;\text{km}}}{\color{#00880a}{30\;\text{km/hour}}}$	Substitute known values

	$=$ $=$	$4 hours$ $4 \text(hours)$	km cancels out

Time = 4 hours

$\text(Time)=4 \text(hours)$

Question 2 of 4

A jet flies at a speed of

680 km/hour

$680 \text(km/hour)$ . Use the speed-distance-time formula to determine how far it can travel in

30

$30$ minutes.

(340) $km$ $\text(km)$

$\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}$	$=$ $=$	$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$	Cross multiply

Next, substitute the known values to the derived formula.

$Speed$ $\text(Speed)$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{680 km}{hour}$ $(680 \text(km))/(\text(hour))$

$Time$ $\text(Time)$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{1}{2} hour$ $1/2 \text(hour)$

$\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}$	$=$ $=$	$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}$

	$=$ $=$	$\color{#00880a}{\frac{680\;\text{km}}{\text{hour}}}\cdot\color{#e65021}{\frac{1}{2}\text{hours}}$	Substitute known values

	$=$ $=$	$340 km$ $340 \text(km)$	Hours cancel out

Distance = 340 km

$\text(Distance)=340 \text(km)$

Speed-Distance-Time Formula

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}=\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$

First, convert the minutes into hours.

1 hour

$1 \text(hour)$

=

$=$

60 minutes

$60 \text(minutes)$

$20 \times \frac{1}{60}$ $20xx1/(60)$	$=$ $=$	$\frac{20}{60}$ $20/60$

	$=$ $=$	$\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$	Simplify

The total time is

$1 1/3 \text(hours)$ .

Next, substitute the known values to the formula.

$\text(Distance)$	$=$	$360 \text(km)$

$\text(Time)$	$=$	$1 1/3 \text(hour)$

$\color{#00880a}{\text{Speed}}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{\text{Distance}}}{\color{#e65021}{\text{Time}}}$

	$=$	$\frac{\color{#9a00c7}{360\;\text{km}}}{\color{#e65021}{1\frac{1}{3}\;\text{hours}}}$	Substitute known values

	$=$	$270 \text(km/hour)$	Evaluate

$\text(Speed)=270 \text(km/hour)$
