How fast does your pet puppy run? How fast did your train travel? How fast did the tractor dig through the ground? Speed tells us how fast something moves or operates. To compute for speed , you need two things: distance and time. The formula for speed is: Speed= Distance ÷ Time S= D / T What is distance? How far did your car travel from your home to the grocery store? Distance refers to how much ground an object has covered. It can refer to the amount of space between two things or people, or the total movement of an object. To compute for distance , you need two things: speed and time. The formula for distance is: Distance= Speed x Time D= S x T What is time? How much time did the bus take to travel from the bus station A to bus station B at a rate of 70 kilometers per hour? How much time is needed to pump 100 gallons of water at a rate of 12 gallons an hour? Time is what we measure in minutes, hours, days, years , and other units. To compute for time , you need two things: speed and distance. The formula for time is: Time= Distance / Speed T= D/S
