Time, Distance, and Rate Problems

Solving Motion Problems

Many SAT questions involve objects moving at constant speeds or calculating travel times. Calculators make these problems quick and error-free.

Key Formula

  • \( \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} \)

Application

These types of calculations are used in planning trips, sports, and logistics.

Examples

  • Finding how long it takes to drive 120 miles at 60 mph.

  • Calculating the distance you travel jogging for 45 minutes at 6 mph.
