1. 3n + 11 = 35; n=8
2. 2n – 13 = 9; n=11
3. 2n – 7 = 15; n=11
4. 2n + 50 = 200; n=75
5. 356 + 2n = 3,262; n=1,453

SPEED, DISTANCE, AND TIME
 SPEED, DISTANCE AND TIME FORMULA

•  
 Definitions
• Average speed is a measure of the distance
travelled in a given period of time; it is
sometimes referred to as the ratio of distance
and time. m/s, kph, mph
• Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to “how
fast an object is moving.” Speed can be
thought of as te rate by which an object
covers distance. m/s, kph, mph
 Definitions
• Distance is the total length between two
positions. meter, feet, yard, cm, km, miles
• Time is the quantity measured or measurable
period during which an action, process, or
condition exists or continues. seconds,
minutes, hour
 Examples
1. If a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours, find
the average speed.
2. A world-record holder ran 800 meters in 86
seconds. What was his average speed
rounded to the nearest tenth?
3. Roy drives an average of 45 mph on a journey
of 135 miles. How long does the journey
take?
 Examples
4. Vincent’s motorcycle’s average speed on a
motorcycle is 50 km/h. If he drives it for 4 ½
hours, how far does he travel?
5. Daniel can type 840 words in 20 minutes.
Calculate his typing speed in: a) words per
minute, and b) words per hour
 Examples
6. Nandy has to travel a total of 476 kilometers.
He travels the first 224 kilometers in 4 hours
– Calculate his average speed for the first part of
the journey
– If his average speed remains the same, calculate
the total time for him to complete the journey
