Calculating distance given speed and time
Question
Iain walked from his parents' farm into town at a steady speed of \(5km/h\).
The journey took \(3\,hours\). How far did Iain walk?
\(Distance = Speed \times Time\)
\(Distance = 5 \times 3\)
\(Distance = 15km\)
Question
Shona cycles at an average speed of \(8km/h\).
How far has she travelled if she cycles for \(4\,hours\)?
\(Distance = Speed \times Time\)
\(Distance = 8 \times 4\)
\(Distance = 32km\)
Shona has travelled \(32km\).
