1 The car on the motorway can travel 1860 metres in 60 seconds.

a Write down the formula for speed.

b Work out how fast the car is going. Don’t forget the units!

2 The dog runs 1980 metres in 5 minutes. How fast is he running? (Remember, there are 60 seconds in each minute.)

3 Sometimes we know the speed of something, and we want to find out how far it will go in a certain time. The formula we need for this is:

Distance = speed  time
