Objective SWBAT solve equations for the speed, distance, and time objects move.
Think About It Josh drives 50 miles in 2 hours. Aleshia drives 60 miles in 3 hours. Who drove faster?
Speed Speed is the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes to travel that distance.
Solving for Speed Dre’Shon runs a distance of 100 m in a time of 5 seconds. What was his speed? d = 100 m t = 5 s
Example (You Do) Tylesia runs 150 meters in 30 seconds. What was her speed?
Solving for Distance
Example Cameron runs at a speed of 10 meters per second. He runs for 4 seconds. How far does he run?
Solving for Time
Example Verdell drives at a speed of 20 miles per hour. He drives at this speed for a distance of 60 miles. How long does he drive?
