Review Speed, distance, and time before starting →Ideas to recall
- Speed equals distance divided by time.
- Convert all quantities to compatible units before calculation.
- Relative speeds add for opposite directions and subtract for the same direction.
- Average speed is total distance divided by total time.
Use these ideas to reason through each question; answer-specific explanations appear only after you check a response.
