Yesterday you walked 0.4 hours from Pritzker to your friend’s place. If you walked with an average speed of 230 feet per minute then how far does your friend live from Pritzker?
(1 hour = 60 minutes)

You and a friend go sledding at a hill outside of Chicago. If your average speed down the hill is 2 meters per second then how much time will it take you to reach the bottom of the 300-foot-long hill?
Student #1 has a rubber band car that travels 15 feet. Student #2 has a rubber band car that travels at 2 feet per second for a time of 6 seconds. Which car traveled farther and by how much farther did they travel than the other car?
Student #1's car traveled 7 feet farther than student #2's car.
Both cars traveled the same distance.
Student #1's car traveled 3 feet farther than student #2's car.
For part of your trip to Florida, your family's car travels a distance of 80 miles per hour. If you drive at the same rate for the entire trip, how many hours will it take to make the 2,219-kilometer trip?
What is one correct way to solve the problem below?
A toy car travels a distance of 14 feet. If the toy car travelled at an average speed was 6 inches per second then how much time was it powered on for? (1 foot = 12 inches)
Convert 14 feet into inches. Then use this distance and the given speed and the formula:
to solve for the answer.
Which equation would you need to use to solve this question?
You and a friend walk 20 blocks across town to a new phone store. You walk at an average rate of 0.3 blocks per minute. If you continue at that rate, what is the total walking time in minutes to reach the new phone store?
Distance = average speed divided by time
Average Speed = distance divided by time
Time = average speed divided by distance
First, you would need to convert the units from blocks to feet.
