Yep, its all about how the units cancel out in this problem.
I'll give you a simple example so I can show you.
Lets say I walk at a rate of (2miles / hour), and I traveled a distance of 5 miles, how long did it take?
5 miles divided by (2 miles / hours)
if you set it up like a fraction it looks like
5mi/2mi/hr = mi cancel, hr comes out of the denominator (see fraction over fraction if this is confusing), and you get 5/2hr or 2.5 hours to walk 5 miles
One thing to remember is make sure the rate, and distance are in the same unit.
What else can I help you with?
How can we calculate the time it takes to travel if we know distance and rate?
You can calculate the time it takes to travel by dividing the distance by the rate. The formula is time = distance / rate. This will give you the time in hours it takes to travel the given distance at the given rate.
What is the word for the rate in time and distance at which a force is produced?
The word for the rate in time and distance at which a force is produced is "power." Power is the measure of how quickly work can be done by a force, and it is calculated by multiplying force by distance divided by time.
What does speed equals distance over time mean?
S=d/t It's an Equation to show how to calculate the speed which would be the distance the object has traveled divided by the time is traveled for. Here's an Example: My Car traveled 10 miles in 10 hours so my speed would be 1mph as Distance: 10 miles divided by Time: 10 hours gives me 1mph.
What is rate at which an object covers distance?
That is called the velocity of the object. Velocity = Distance divided by Time taken.
Is acceleration the change in distance per unit time?
No, the distance an object travels in unit time is called speed. The distance travelled per unit time in a specified direction is called velocity. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration.
How do i solve distance rate time promblems?
The formula is Distance=Rate x Time (or distance equals rate multiplied by time). When you take this into account, you can manipulate it to solve for rate or time instead of distance. In other words, you could rewrite it as Rate= Distance/Time (rate equals distance divided by time) and Time= Distance/Rate (time equals distance divided by rate) in case they ask for what the Rate or Time is instead of Distance.
Speed equals time divided by distance?
Distance = Rate x Time Rate = Distance/Time, not Time/Distance
How can you calculate the time it takes to travel if you know distance and rate?
Time equals distance divided by rate.
What is the formula for time in science?
Time equals Distance divided by rate
How do you faind the rate in math class?
Rate equals Distance divided by Time.
How do you calculate miles per hour for a certain distance?
The rate equals the distance divided by the time it takes to cover the distance. If you go 6 miles in 2 hours, the rate is 3 miles an hour.
How long does it take to drive 960 miles at a rate of speed of 55MPH?
Think of the word DISTance and you have the formula D Is S times T Distance equals Speed x Time from which you can infer that Speed equals Distance divided by Time and Time equals Distance divide by Speed So in this example How long? means find the Time, and Time = Distance/Speed which equals 960miles divided by 55mph = 17hours 27minutes 16.36363636.....seconds What about stopping for coffee or a rest?
How do you calculate my time and the miles i travel?
If you take distance divided by rate you will get your time. Then if you take time by the rate you will get your distance.
What is rate in math terms?
rate equals distance divided by the time: example, one mile per hour would be 1 over 1. Ten miles (distance) over 1 hour (time) = 10 mph. Formula: r=d/t (rate equals distance over time)
Relationship between speed distance and time?
Distance equals rate multiplied by time
How can we calculate the time it takes to travel if we know distance and rate?
You can calculate the time it takes to travel by dividing the distance by the rate. The formula is time = distance / rate. This will give you the time in hours it takes to travel the given distance at the given rate.
Distance divided by time is?
rate d=rt
