hours. What is the rate of the speed?

e. What is asked in the problem?
Speed is the rate of how fast something moves over a
distance. Speed is measured by the distance traveled by
time.

Let’s use the formula:

Speed= Distance ÷ Time or S=d

T
S= 24
2
= 12 kph (kilometers per
hour)
On his next visit, Paul took a different route and travelled
at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour for 4 hours. How
many kilometers did he travel?

The kilometers traveled by Paul can be computed using the

distance formula:
Distance= Speed x Time or
D=S x t
D=10 kilometers x 4 hours
hour

D= 40 kilometers
Then Paul decided to travel 18 kilometers at a rate of 12
kilometers per hour to visit his friend Nico. How long was
his journey going to Nico’s place?

Let us now use the time formula:

Time=Distance ÷ Speed or
t= d
s
Where: d= 18 kilometers
S=12 kilometers/hour

Let’s substitute:
18 kilometers
12 kilometers/hour

t= 1.5 hours
The relationship between speed,
distance and time can be expressed in
the ff. equations:
Speed, Distance and Time Formula

Distance = Speed x Time

 Time = Distance/Speed
 Speed= Distance/Time
An easy way to remember the distance, speed and time
equations is to put the letters into a triangle which is known
as Techan’s triangle. The triangles will help you remember
these 3 rules:
SPEED is expressed in: kilometers per hour
(kph, kmph, km/h) or
meter per second (m/s, mps)

DISTANCE is expressed in:

kilometers (km) or in meters (m)

TIME is expressed in:

hour or hours (h, hrs) or in seconds (s, sec)
.
Units commonly use for speed ,distance and time and their abbreviations .

Distance Time Speed Abbreviation

miles hour miles per hour Mph

kilometers hours kilometers per Km/h or kph

GROUP ACTIVITY
A man rides the bike with the speed of 30 kilometers
in 3/4 hours. Calculate the speed of the bike in

a. Kilometers/hour
b. Meter/sec
Solution # 1:
a. Speed in Kilometers/hour

Given : Distance Covered d = 30 km

Time taken t = 3/4 hours =0.75 hours

Speed is calculated using the formula: S = d

t
= 30 kms
0.75 h
S= 40 kmh
b. Speed in meter/seconds
S= 40 kmh
S= 40 kms x 1000 m x 1 h

A golf cart is driven at its top
speed of 27.0 km/h for 10.0
minutes. In meter per seconds,
how fast did the golf cart travel?
Solution # 2:

To solve this problem, change the units of the

speed and time so that the answer found will be in
meter per seconds since this is what the question
asks for. The speed is:
27 km 1000 m 1h 1 min

= 27,000 m
3,600 s
s = 7.50 m/s
A dog runs from one side of a
park to the other. The park is
80.0 meters across. The dog
takes 16.0 seconds to cross the
park. What is the speed of the
dog?
Solution # 3:
The distance the dog travels and the time it takes are given.
Where d=180 meters and the time= 16 seconds

The dog’s speed can be computed with the formula:

80 m
16 s
s = 5.0 m/s

The speed of the dog is 5.0 meters per second.

DAY 2
Drill/ Review:
To deepen pupils’ understanding of the
concept, let them answer the following
activity.

HOW FAST ARE YOU GOING?

Present the problem below:

Mike drives his car at a speed of

70 km per hour. How much
Speed is the rate of how fast something moves over a distance. Speed is measured by the

distance will he cover in 3 hours

and 30 minutes?
Solution:
Speed of the car = 70 km/hr
Time taken = 3 hours 30 minutes
= 3 ½ hours or 3.5 h
To find Distance, multiply the speed by the time
traveled

D= S x t

= 70 km × 3.5 hr
hr

D= 245 km.
Other Examples:

Example 1:
How much distance will be covered
in 7 hrs at a speed of 62 km per
hour?
Solution:
What is asked? Distance
Speed = 62 km./h
time=7 hours
Formula: Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 62 km × 7 h
h
= 434 km.
Therefore, distance covered in 7 hrs = 434
km.
Example 2:

How much distance will be covered in 5 hrs at a

speed of 55 km per hour?
Solution:
D= S x T
= 55 km X 5 hr
hr
D= 275 km

Therefore, distance covered in 5 hrs = 275 km

Solution:
D= S x T
= 55 km x 5 h
hr
D= 275 km

Therefore, distance covered in 5 hrs

= 275 km
Example 3:
A bus travels at a speed of 45
km/hour. How far will it travel in
36 minutes?
Solution:
Speed = 45 km/hour
Time = 36 minutes
= 36/60 Hour (Since we know, 1 hour =
60 minutes)
= 0.6 hr.
Distance = speed × time
= 45 km × 0.6 hr
hr
D = 75 km.

What are the methods do we use in
solving story problems?
In solving problems involving
average rate and speed,
given the two other quantities, we
can calculate for the missing Speed,
Distance or Time using the Techan’s
Triangle.
Present the story problem:

Ben bought a new car. He was

planning to have a road test with
his friends. They had a very long
trip drive. He drove his car at 150
miles in 3 hours. What was his
average speed?
Ask the following questions.
A. Who bought a new car? __________
B. Who were with Ben during his trip?
__________
C. How can you describe their trip?
__________
D. What is asked in the problem? __________

How to calculate Average Speed?

To answer the problem, we will use Method 1 on how to calculate the average speed?

Method 1: Given One Distance and One Time Period

Step 1: Determine what information are given and what is unknown in the problem.
Given: D=150 miles
T= 3 hours
S= ?
Step 2: Set up the formula for Speed.
Where, S equals the average speed
D equals the total distance
T equals the total time
Step 3: Substitute the values .
D= 150 miles
T= 3 hours
Step 4: Solve
150 miles
3 hours
S= 50 miles per hour
so if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, his average speed was 50 miles per hour.
Example # 2:

Jonathan bought a new car. He

drove his car from Manila to
Baguio City at an average speed
of 65 kilometers per hour, for a
total of 4.5 hours. How far did he
travel?
Give enough time for the pupils to analyze
the problem. Then ask the ff.
a.What is asked?
b.What are the given in the problem?
c.What equation will be formed?
In this example we will use,
Method 2: Finding distance given the speed and time
Explain the relationship between speed, distance and time. Present the formula
posted in the board.

In this problem, we were given a speed of 65kms per hour, and time of 4.5 hours.
To find the total distance traveled, we can simply multiply the given speed and
time.
Distance = 65 km x 4.5 hours
hr.
Answer: He traveled 292.5 kilometers
Example # 3:

A van is traveling from Tagaytay

to Tarlac in a distance of 180
km at 45 kph. How long was
the trip ?
In this problem, we will use
Method 3: Finding the time given the speed and distance

In this problem, we were given a distance of 180 kms and a speed of

45 kilometers per hour.

To find the time traveled, we can simply divide the given distance
and speed.
t=D D= 180 kms
S S = 45 kms/ hr
t= 4 hours

So the van took 4 hours trip from Tagaytay to Tarlac.

Example # 4:

If Ben traveled 150 miles in 3

hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and
70 miles in 1 hour, what was his
average speed for the entire trip?
When computing for the average speed and multiple distances and time were given,use this method
Method 4: Given Multiple Distance in Different Amount of Time

Step 1: Determine what information are given and what is unknown in the problem.
Given:
D1 = 150 miles T1= 3 hours
D2 = 120 mile T2= 2 hours
D3= 70 miles T3= 1 hour
S=?
Step 2: Set-up the formula for average speed.
Therefore the formula is

Step 3: Substitute the values

150 miles + 120 miles + 70 miles
3 hours + 2 hours + 1 hour
Step 4: Solve
= 340 miles
6 hours
S= 56.67 miles/ hour
So if Ben travelled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour,
his average speed was 56.67 miles per hour
