Travel and Distance Calculations

Planning Trips With Math

Whether you’re heading to a concert or visiting family, math helps you figure out how far, how long, and how much it will cost to get there.

Distance, Rate, and Time

Use the formula \(d = rt\) (distance = rate × time) to plan trips and compare transportation options.

Real-World Benefits

These calculations ensure you’re on time and stay within budget—a useful skill for every journey!

Examples

  • Calculating how long it takes to bike 10 miles at 8 miles per hour: \(10 ÷ 8 = 1.25\) hours.

  • Determining taxi fare by multiplying miles traveled by the rate per mile.
