Practice and Revision - Speed, Distance and Time
Let us practise and revise what we learned about speed, distance and time. Speed, distance, and time are related through the formula: Speed
Core concept
Speed measures how fast something moves, usually in units like kilometres per hour (km/h) or metres per second (m/s).
How it works
The formula Speed = Distance ÷ Time can be rearranged to find distance (Distance = Speed × Time) or time (Time = Distance ÷ Speed).
Why it matters
For example, if a car travels 120 km in 2 hours, its speed is 120 ÷ 2 = 60 km/h.
Key detail
Understanding these relationships helps us solve real-life problems involving travel, like planning journey times or calculating average speed.

Quick notes
• Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
• Speed is measured in km/h or m/s.
• Distance = Speed × Time.
• Time = Distance ÷ Speed.
• A car going 120 km in 2 hours has speed 60 km/h.
• These formulas help solve travel problems.
• We can plan journey times using them.
• Average speed uses the same formula.
