Distance divided by time is a measure of?

Answer 1

Rate. The official equation is r=d/t, or rate=distance divided by time.

Example:

A train is traveling about 450 miles to Spain. It gets there in 5 hours.

Set up your equation:

r=d/t

r=450/5

r=90 which means that the train was traveling at a rate/speed of 90 miles per hour. If you are unsure of the answer just plug it in and check it.

90=450/5

90=90 True

Now you have verified your equation, and the answer is that the train was traveling 90 mph.
