You may want to find the average speed of different objects. In order to do this, you need to realize that it will depend on the distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time that will help cover that distance.

These are just some of the things that you can do:

• Speed of an object is found out by dividing the distance of the object that is covered by the time.

• The object should be taken over by the cover of the distance.

• This means that D is the distance traveled in some time.

• T will then refer to the speed of the object for this journey.

• This means that S = D/T.

Have you ever wondered what the average speed of a sports car is compared to a family vehicle? Solving these types of problems may benefit you in real life.

Calculating the average rate is simple when you know the right steps.

• Use the formula of speed equals distance over time.

• Evaluate the information you are given.

• For example, the total distance covered by one car and the total amount of time it took for the car to go a certain distance.

• Set up the formula for speed.

• S equals distance over time.

• Put the distance into the formula.

• Put the time into the formula.

• Divide the distance by the time, and arrive at the average speed per unit of time.
