Understanding speed, distance and time
Speed, distance and time problems ask learners to use the relationship distance equals speed times time to find whichever quantity is missing. Children rearrange the formula as needed: multiply speed by time for distance, divide distance by time for speed, or divide distance by speed for time. This is an early taste of formula work and proportional reasoning, and it demands careful attention to matching units of distance and time.
For example, a car traveling at 60 km/h for 3 hours covers 60 × 3 = 180 km; covering 180 km in 3 hours means a speed of 180 ÷ 3 = 60 km/h. A common mistake is to mismatch units, such as using minutes with a speed given per hour. A helpful tip is to write down the formula, note which two quantities you are given, and check that the time unit in the speed matches the time in the problem before you compute.
