Distance Problems - word problems involving distance, rate (speed) and time, how to solve distance word problems where the objects are traveling in opposite directions, with video lessons, examples and step-by-step solutions.
Make customizable worksheets about constant (or average) speed, time, and distance, in PDF or html formats. You can choose the types of word problems, the number of problems, metric or customary units, the way time is expressed (hours/minutes, fractional hours, or decimal hours), and the amount of workspace for each problem.
Distance and Midpoint Word Problems 1. )On a map, Julie’s house is located at (−2,5 (and Jimmy’s house is at 6,−2). How long is the direct path from Julie’s house to Jimmy’s house? 2. The Riley and Brown families decided to go to a concert together. The Riley’s live 6 miles west and 3 miles north of the concert.
Motion problems rely heavily on the distance formula, “distance (d) = rate (r) • time (t)”. Drawing a pre-equation chart like the one below will organize your information so that you can set up your equation.
Learn to setup and solve Distance = Rate × Time word problems. The approach will be useful for similar types of problems in the format A = B × C as well such as "mixture"
Distance, time and rate problems have a few variations that mix the unknowns between distance, rate and time. They generally involve solving a problem that uses the combined distance travelled to equal some distance or a problem in which the distances travelled by both parties is the same.
How to solve Motion or Distance Word Problems? Step 1: Draw a diagram to represent the relationship between the distances involved in the problem. Step 2: Set up a chart based on the formula: rate × time = distance. Step 3: Use the chart to set up one or more equations. Step 4: Solve the equations. We will look at three types of Motion Word ...
