Read each problem carefully and solve for the unknown variable using the formula: Distance = Rate × Time.
1. If a car travels at a rate of 60 miles per hour for 3 hours, the distance traveled is miles.
2. A train covers a distance of 450 km in 5 hours. Its average speed (rate) is km/h.
3. To travel 200 meters at a speed of 10 meters per second, it would take seconds.
4. A cyclist travels 90 kilometers in 3 hours. What is the cyclist's average speed?
20 km/h
30 km/h
45 km/h
60 km/h
5. How long will it take a plane flying at 500 miles per hour to travel 2500 miles?
4 hours
5 hours
6 hours
7 hours
6. A boat travels downstream at 20 km/h for 2 hours and then upstream at 15 km/h for 3 hours. What is the total distance the boat traveled?
7. Sarah walks to school at a speed of 4 mph. If her school is 2 miles away, how long does it take her to get to school in minutes?
8. If you double the rate and keep the time constant, the distance traveled will also double.
True
False
9. To find the time, you divide the distance by the rate.
True
False
10. A car leaves city A traveling towards city B at a speed of 70 km/h. At the same time, another car leaves city B traveling towards city A at a speed of 80 km/h. If the distance between city A and city B is 600 km, how long will it take for the two cars to meet?
