The formula is Distance=Rate x Time (or distance equals rate multiplied by time). When you take this into account, you can manipulate it to solve for rate or time instead of distance. In other words, you could rewrite it as Rate= Distance/Time (rate equals distance divided by time) and Time= Distance/Rate (time equals distance divided by rate) in case they ask for what the Rate or Time is instead of Distance.

How do you solve for distance?

Distance = Rate x Time


How do you do distance rate and time problems?

Generally: RATE = DISTANCE / TIME -or- DISTANCE = RATE * TIME -or- TIME = DISTANCE / RATE qed


How long does it take to travel one tenth of a mile at 70 mph?

Our formula is Distance = Rate * Time Distance = 0.1 miles Rate = 70 mph Time = unknown Solve formula for Time Distance/Rate = Time So, 0.1 miles/70 mph or 1/700 hours. Approximately 5.14 seconds


How is distance effected when time or rate is decreased or increased?

distance = rate x time the distance is increased or decreased in direct proportion to the rate or time. If the rate doubles the distance doubles in given time; If the time doubles the distance doubles at a given rate.


Speed equals time divided by distance?

Distance = Rate x Time Rate = Distance/Time, not Time/Distance


How can we calculate the time it takes to travel if we know distance and rate?

Use a stopwatch.


How do find the distance traveled by time taken?

Distance = (rate)(time). Where distance is equal to the rate times the time.


How do you solve problems involving distanse time and average speed?

By using the formula distance equals rate times time or d = r x t


How do you solve for time?

Time equals Distance divided by Time.


How do you calculate my time and the miles i travel?

If you take distance divided by rate you will get your time. Then if you take time by the rate you will get your distance.


How do you compare distance and time?

Distance= Rate x Time


How do you solve speed?

Speed= Distance/Time
