1. Distance,Rate, and Time

2. Think! What information would you need to know to find out how long it takes to get to your friend’s house?

3. Suppose that you wish to travel by car to your favorite vacation spot at an average speed of 55 miles per hour. How many hours will it take you to travel 440 miles? How might you solve this problem?

4. The speed of the car represents the rate. The hours traveled represent the time. What relationship exists between the distance, rate, and time of the car? distance = rate x time

6. 6

7. Formula Chart Distance, Rate, and Time distance= rate x time d=rt time = distance/rate t = d/r rate = distance/time r = d/t

8. Try These! A black bear runs 60 feet in 1 ½ seconds. What is its speed? A Barracuda can swim at a speed 60 meters per second. How far can it swim in 5 seconds? In 20 seconds?

9. Try These! 1.) d=________; r = 25 ft./sec; t = 18 sec 2.) d= 525 inches; r=_______in/sec; t= 30 sec 3.) d= 210 miles ; r = ______ mph ; t = 5h 4.) d =_________ ; r = 36mph ; t = 4h 5.) d= 360 miles; r = 60mph; t= ______h
