Travel and Distance Problems

Using Algebra for Trips

Planning a trip? Algebra helps you calculate travel time, distance, and speed using simple equations.

Famous Formula

The formula \( \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} \) lets you solve for any missing part.

Real-World Benefits

Use algebra to decide when to leave, how long you'll be on the road, or if you have enough gas.

Examples

  • If you travel at 50 mph for 3 hours, \( 50 \times 3 = 150 \) miles.

  • If you need to travel 120 miles and your speed is 60 mph, time needed is \( 120 \div 60 = 2 \) hours.
