Substitute the values into the expression x = -3, y = 4, z =
Using Formulas Goal: 1.Plugging numbers into formulas. We use formulas to calculate values. 2.Use the formula d = rt to solve for different values.
Vocabulary Formula – is an equation that shows the relationship between quantities represented by variables. Distance traveled: d = rt (rate X time) ALL FORMULA PROBLEMS are solved the same way. PLUG what you know into the formula. SOLVE for what you don’t know.
Questions, questions…. How does a track coach figure out how fast someone….? Distance traveled: d = rt (rate multiplied by time) ALL FORMULA PROBLEMS are solved the same way. PLUG what you know into the formula. SOLVE for what you don’t know.
How can you remember how to use Distance = Rate x Time?
Examples Use Distance = Rate times Time to solve.. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) Suppose you ride your bike at 10 miles per hour for 3 hours. How far did you bike? We have already done stuff like this – just do it! Put the number in for the variable/letter and solve for the ONLY thing left!
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) Suppose you ride your bike at 8 miles per hour for 4 hours. How far did you bike? We have already done stuff like this – just do it! Put the number in for the variable/letter and solve for the ONLY thing left!
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) Suppose you ride your bike at 12 miles per hour for 2 hours. How far did you bike? We have already done stuff like this – just do it! Put the number in for the variable/letter and solve for the ONLY thing left!
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) Suppose you ride your bike at 5 miles per hour for 10 hours. How far did you bike? We have already done stuff like this – just do it! Put the number in for the variable/letter and solve for the ONLY thing left!
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) Now suppose you rode your bike for two hours and went 18 miles. How fast did you go?
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) What if you rode your bike for 3 hours and went only 12 miles. How fast did you go?
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) What if you went 10 miles on your bike and you know you went 5 mph. How long did you ride?
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Distance = Rate x Time (d = rt) How about you went 21 miles on your bike and you went 3 miles per hour. How long did you bike?
How can you remember how to use Distance = Rate x Time?

Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Use the formula F = + 37, where n is the number of chirps a cricket makes in one minute, and F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Estimate the temperature when a cricket chirps 76 times in a minute. n __ 4
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Use the formula F = + 37, where n is the number of chirps a cricket makes in one minute, and F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The cricket is chirping faster now (120 chirps per minute). What is your estimate of the temperature? n __ 4
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. Find the perimeter of a rectangular tabletop with a length of 14.5 in. and width of 8.5 in. use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle (P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width).
Examples Use the provided formula to solve the problem. The world record strawberry shortcake was huge. It had a length of feet long and a width of 48 inches. What was the perimeter of the cake? Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle (P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width).
