Distance - Rate - Time Word Problems

Let's hope class participants don't get motion sickness. In the lesson, class members first solve motion problems using tables and graphs. They then use algebraic techniques to solve motion problems.

Learn how to read and understand distance word problems so you can solve them.

Have your class figure out how much "Teddy" weighs on the moon and how to translate words into algebra! This video shows pupils how to take a word problem, and then solve it using the direct variation formula and given information. Great...

The instructor uses a graph representing time and distance to illustrate how to solve this word problem. She explains each step: rate of change, distance, time, vertical change over horizontal change, change in distance, and change in...

If you know two values and are looking for a third, you can set up an equation and solve to find your answer. In this problem you know distance and time, and you are looking for rate of speed. Use the distance formula to set up your...

The video just before this lesson showed how to do unit analysis and rate conversions. This lesson also shows conversion of unit rates, feet, miles, seconds, hours. So pay attention and learn how to figure out how many feet per second...

Yes, it's a word problem, but you know the formula for distance, d=rt. The word problem here gives you two values so all you have to do is plug them into the correct place and solve. Don't forget to use the division property of equality...
