In a car the Odometer will show you the distance travelled.
In mathematics you would need to know the average speed the car was travelling at and the time that it was travelling for.
Divide the average speed by 360 to get how many units of distance were covered per second.
Muliply this by the number of seconds the car was travelling for.
The result will be the distance, in the same unit of distance as the speed was measured in.
Example,
Average speed = 30km per hour
Time = 15 minutes (900 seconds)
Distance = (Average Speed/360)*Time
= (30/360)*900
= 7.5 (km)

Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
Assuming that the car moves at a constant speed, you can use the standard formula for speed: distance = speed x time
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
D = 60T where T is expressed in hours.
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time it takes to travel that distance is called the average speed.[ Average ] Speed = Distance / TimeFor example :A car that travels 60 miles in a time of 2 hours has an average speed of 30 miles per hour.
