Answer #1:

The formula for finding total distance is to multiply average speed by the time it

takes to get there. This formula works for an object that travels at a constant

speed for a given time-interval.

============================

Answer #2:

The formula for total distance depends on what information you already have.

For example, you might have ...

-- average speed and the length of time over which it applies;

-- initial speed, average acceleration, and the length of time over which it applies;

-- odometer readings at the beginning and end of the trip;

-- initial speed, final speed, and the length of time between them;

-- displacement between starting point and finish line, and the function that

represents the shape of the path between them.

A different formula would be used in each case.
