Calculate any of the three variables by entering the other two values
The relationship between speed, distance, and time is given by the formula:
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
This can be rearranged to find any of the three variables when you know the other two:
If you're driving 300 km at an average speed of 100 km/h, your travel time will be:
Time = 300 km ÷ 100 km/h = 3 hours
If you run 5 km in 25 minutes (0.4167 hours), your average speed is:
Speed = 5 km ÷ 0.4167 h ≈ 12 km/h
A delivery truck travels at 60 mph for 2.5 hours. The distance covered is:
Distance = 60 mph × 2.5 h = 150 miles
