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)
