Finding Rate (Distance/Time)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The rate of a moving vehicle is calculated in this video. A student does an equation on a whiteboard, as well as displays a real-life example of a moving truck. The video footage of a moving truck is a great way to connect this math equation (R=d/t) to real life.
