1. Let's state the problem: You are given speed and time, and you want to find the distance traveled. 2. The formula to find distance when speed and time are known is: $$\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$$ 3. Important rules: - Speed must be in consistent units (e.g., meters per second, kilometers per hour). - Time must be in units compatible with speed (e.g., seconds if speed is meters per second). 4. To find the distance, multiply the given speed by the given time. 5. Example: If speed is $s$ and time is $t$, then distance $d$ is: $$d = s \times t$$ 6. This formula works because speed is the rate of change of distance with respect to time. 7. So, if you provide the values of speed and time, you can calculate distance directly using this formula.
