Looking Back at your Lesson


MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 P a g e 1|9
From your previous lessons, you have learned the different conversions when it comes to time,
length, height and weight. These are very useful in understanding hard problems in solving speed,
average speed and rate. Some questions or examples require conversion and it is important to
accurately compute for it since the units will change from time to time.

Units of time
Units of time measure how long something lasts. For example, how many seconds can you
hold your breath, or how many minutes or hour to watch your best-loved movie?

Conversion Table

Powers of 10
The metric system is based on a measure of 10. This allows conversions from different
units easier--simply moving a decimal point either to the left or to the right.
For example, 1 millimeter is equal to 0.001 meter; a centimeter, which is a unit 0.1 larger
than a millimeter, is 0.01 meter.
A. Give the equivalent of each time measure.
1.) 3 centuries= ________ decades 4.) 4yrs =____________wks
2.) 8 years= ____________mos 5.) 300 mins=________hours
3.) 840 secs=___________mins
B. Fill in the blank with the correct answer.
6.) 0.81km =______cm 7.) 2.5m =_______yard
8.) 3.5 mi=_______km 9.) 41.3m = _____dm

10.) 25yd= ______cm

Introduction of the Topic

Week 5. Calculating Speed, Distance and Time and application of knowledge-based formulas to the

realistic word problems.

Speed – scalar in quantity that usually refers to “how fast an object is moving.”
It can be thought of as the rate by which an object covers distance.

Average Speed – the measure of the distance travelled in a


given period of time. Average Speed is sometimes referred
to as the ratio of distance and time.

Distance – the total length between two positions or location.

Time – the measure during which an action, process or condition exists or


continues on a period of a unit.

Easily remember the formula by looking at this pyramid:

The relationship between speed, distance and time can be


expressed in the following equations:
 Speed = distance
time

 Distance = speed x time

 Time = distance
speed

The following table lists units in common use for speed and their abbreviations.

Distance Time Speed Abbreviation

Miles Hours miles per hour mph

Kilometers Hours kilometers per hour km/h or kph

Meters seconds meters per second m/s

Feet seconds feet per second f.p.s. or ft. per sec.

Centimeters seconds centimeters per second cm/sec or cm/s

Let us Learn: Study these examples:
Example 1. If a car travels 100 kilometers in 2 hours, find the average speed.
Solution:
Using the average speed formula:
Average Speed = distance = 100 = 50 kph
time 2
Answer: The average speed of the car is 50 kph

Example 2. A world-record holder ran 800 meters in 86 seconds. What was his average speed
rounded to the nearest tenth?
Using the average speed formula:
Average Speed = distance = 800 m = 9.3 m/s
time 86 s

Answer: The average speed of the car is 9.3 m/s

Example 3. Roy drives at an average of 45 mph on a journey of 135 miles. How long does the
journey take?
Solution:
Using the average speed formula:
Average Speed = distance = 135 miles = 3 hours
Time 45 mph
Example 4. Vincent’s motorcycle’s average speed is 50 km/h. If he drives it for 4 ½ hours, how
far does he travel?
Solution:

Using the formula to find the distance:


Distance = speed x time
Distance= 50 x 4 ½
= 225 kilometers

Answer: He can travel a distance of 225 kilometers

Example 5. Daniel can type 840 words in 20 minutes. Calculate his typing speed in:
a. words per minute b. words per hour
Solution:
a. His typing speed = 840 = 42 words per minute
20
In 1 hour, we have 60 minutes so…
b. Typing Speed = 42 x 60 = 2520 words per hour

Remember

Distance, speed and time formula

All of the calculations in this section will be worked out using the distance, speed and time
formula. An easy way to remember the formulae is to put distance, speed and time (or the letters D,
S and T) into a triangle.

Units

It is important that, for all of these calculations, the units used are consistent.

MATH 6 QUARTER 3 WEEK 5 P a g e 6|9


If the distance is given in kilometers and the time in hours, then the measurement of speed
should be given in the form of kilometers per hour.
