How do you calculate speed, distance, and time?

Answer

To calculate these values, identify which two quantities you know and use the appropriate formula:

For Speed: Divide the distance traveled by the time taken. If you travel 150 km in 3 hours, your speed is 150 ÷ 3 = 50 km/h.

For Distance: Multiply speed by time. If you drive at 80 km/h for 4 hours, you cover 80 × 4 = 320 km.

For Time: Divide distance by speed. To travel 200 km at 50 km/h takes 200 ÷ 50 = 4 hours.
