Where can you find answers to the distance formula?
d=rt Distance=Rate (Speed) x Time This equation can be used to find Distance, Rate, and Time.
Does the formula d equals rt give the distance d traveled at a rate of r for t units of time?
Yes
What is the formula for in algebra for solving problems using the distance formula?
distance= speed x time
What is the formula for calculating distance when speed and time are known?
Distance = speed x time
How many minutes does it take a car traveling 60 mph to travel a distance of 400miles?
The basic formula for these kinds of questions is "Rate X Time = Distance". In this case you know the distance and the rate, so you want to solve for time (i.e. "How long") so the first step is to rewrite the equation so it's solving for time instead of distance. If you divide (the opposite of multiply since the left side of the equation is multiplying by Rate) both sides by R (i.e. Rate) the new version of the equation becomes T = Distance/Rate Now replace the variables you know (from the original story problem). T = 400/60 T = 6.6666 hours There are 60 minutes in an hour so... 6.6666 X 60 = 399.6 minutes
