How to Solve Speed, Distance, and Time Problems

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

Speed, distance, and time are interlinked by the formula Distance = Speed × Time. Rearrange it to find any of the three: Speed = Distance ÷ Time or Time = Distance ÷ Speed. For example, if you drive 150 km at a constant speed of 50 km/h, Time = 150 ÷ 50 = 3 hours. More complex problems can involve average speed for multi-stage journeys or relative speeds when objects move in opposite directions. Mastering these computations is critical for planning travel, analyzing transport efficiency, or solving physics and real-world logistical tasks requiring pace or timeline estimates.
