A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 12.5 meters. For how many minutes does it walk? Distance formula (d) for a rate (r) and time (t) is: d = rt We're given d = 12.5 and r = 5 12.5 = 5t 5t = 12.5 Solve for t. Divide each side of the equation by...

A student and the marine biologist are together at t = 0. The student ascends more slowly than the marine biologist. Write an equation of a function that could represent the student's ascent. Please keep in mind the slope for the marine biologist is 12. Slope means rise over run. In this case...

A girl is pedaling her bicycle at a velocity of 0.10 km/hr. How far will she travel in two hours? The distance formula is: d = rt We're given a rate (r) of 0.10km/hr We're given time (t) of 2 hours Plug these values into the distance formula and we get: d= 0.1 * 2 d = 0.2km

an earthworm moves at distance of 45cm in 90 seconds what is the speed Using our distance, rate, time calculator, we have: Rate = 1/2cm or 0.5cm per second

Johnny Rocket can run 300 meters in 90 seconds. If his speed remains constant, how far could he run in 500 seconds? Round to one decimal place. Set up the distance equation: Distance = Rate * Time 300 = 90r Solving this equation for r, we type it in our search engine and we get: r = 3.333 For...

which number is the same distance from 0 on the number line as 4 We use absolute value for distance. Since 4 is 4 units right of 0 on the number line, we can also move 4 units left of 0 on the number line and we land on -4

A driver drove at a speed of 58 mph for t hours. How far did the driver go? Since distance = rate * time, we have distance D of: D = 58t

A driver drove at a speed of 56 mph for z hours. How far did the driver go? Distance = Rate * time So we have: Distance = 56 mph * z Distance = 56z

A car is traveling 60 km per hour. How many hours will it take for the car to reach a point that is 180 km away? Rate * Time = Distance so we have t for time as: 60t = 180 To solve this equation for t, we type it in the search engine and we get: t = 3

A police officer is trying to catch a fleeing criminal. The criminal is 20 feet away from the cop, running at a rate of 5 feet per second. The cop is running at a rate of 6.5 feet per second. How many seconds will it take for the police officer to catch the criminal? Distance = Rate * Time...

A boat traveled at a constant speed for 32 hours, covering a total distance of 597 kilometers. To the nearest hundredth of a kilometer per hour, how fast was it going? Distance = Rate * Time We're given t = 32, and d = 597. Using our distance, rate, and time calculator, we get: r = 18.656 km/hr

A car travels at 40 kilometers per hour. Write an expression for the distance traveled after h hours. Distance = rate * time, so we have: Distance = 40km/h * h Distance = 40h

A car travels 16 m/s and travels 824 m. How long was the car moving? Distance = Rate * Time, so we have: 824m = 16m/s * t Using our distance calculator, we get: 51.5 seconds

Using a number line how far is - 2 from 6 We use our number line calculator and we get: Distance is 8

Linda can run about 6 yards in one second. About how far can she run in 12 seconds? Distance = Rate * Time Distance = 6 yds/ second * 12 seconds Distance = 72 yards

A train traveled at 66km an hour for four hours. Find the distance traveled Distance = Rate * Time Distance = 66km/hr * 4 hours Distance = 264 miles

A driver drove at a speed of 42 mph for z hours. How far did the driver go? Distance = Rate * Time, so we have: Distance = 42z

A car travels 71 feet each second.How many feet does it travel in 12 seconds? Distance = Rate * Time We're given a rate of 71 feet per second and a time of 12 seconds. So we plug this in: Distance = 71 feet/second * 12 seconds Distance = 852 feet

Each unit on a map of a forest represents 1 mile. To the nearest tenth of a mile, what is the distance from a ranger station at (1, 2) on the map to a river crossing at (2, 4) ? We use our 2 point calculator and we get a distance of 2.2361. Since each unit represents 1 mile, we have: 2.2361...

A jet travels 832 km in 5 hours. At this rate, how far could the jet fly in 12 hours? What is the rate of speed of the jet? Distance = rate * time. We're given D = 832 and t = 5. Using our drt calculator, we solve or rate to get: r = 166.4 The problems asks for a distance D when t = 12 hours...
