Solving Speed Problems

Question 1 • TX-College Prep Math A

How is solving for speed similar to solving for time?

Answer
A
They both require that two numbers be added.
B
They both require that two numbers be subtracted.
C
They both involve writing a rate.
D
They both use the same units of measure.

Explanation

Speed and time are both found using the relationship among distance, speed, and time. Speed is distance divided by time, while time is distance divided by speed, so both involve a rate. They do not use the same units: speed might be measured in miles per hour, while time is measured in hours.
