Answer key: Speed, Distance and Time worksheet

  1. 1. Distance: 215 miles

    1. Turn the minutes into a fraction of an hour

      3+3560=3.583333 h
    2. Multiply your speed by the hours spent moving to get the distance

      60 mph×3.583333 h=215 mi
  2. 2. Distance: 164.8 miles

    1. Turn the minutes into a fraction of an hour

      3+2660=3.433333 h
    2. Multiply your speed by the hours spent moving to get the distance

      48 mph×3.433333 h=164.8 mi
  3. 3. Travel time: 3 h 38 min 11 s

    1. Divide the distance by your speed to see how many hours it takes

      200 mi55 mph=3.636364 h
    2. Turn the hours into hours and minutes. The part after the decimal point times 60 gives the minutes

      3.636364 h=3 h 38 min 11 s
    3. Add the travel time to the departure time

      1:57 PM+3 h 38 min 11 s=5:35:11 PM
  4. 4. Travel time: 3 h 27 min 16 s

    1. Divide the distance by your speed to see how many hours it takes

      190 mi55 mph=3.454545 h
    2. Turn the hours into hours and minutes. The part after the decimal point times 60 gives the minutes

      3.454545 h=3 h 27 min 16 s
    3. Add the travel time to the departure time

      5:16 AM+3 h 27 min 16 s=8:43:16 AM
  5. 5. Travel time: 2 h 50 min 16 s

    1. Divide the distance by your speed to see how many hours it takes

      210 mi74 mph=2.837838 h
    2. Turn the hours into hours and minutes. The part after the decimal point times 60 gives the minutes

      2.837838 h=2 h 50 min 16 s
    3. Add the travel time to the departure time

      10:46 AM+2 h 50 min 16 s=1:36:16 PM
  6. 6. Average speed: 84.91 mph

    1. Turn the minutes into a fraction of an hour

      3+3260=3.533333 h

      300 mi3.533333 h=84.90566 mph
  7. 7. Average speed: 66.35 mph

    1. Turn the minutes into a fraction of an hour

      3+2860=3.466667 h
    2. Divide the distance by the hours it took to get your average speed

      230 mi3.466667 h=66.346154 mph
  8. 8. Distance: 228.8 miles

    1. Turn the minutes into a fraction of an hour

      3+2860=3.466667 h
