Calculate distance given speed and time.
", "licence": "None specified"}, "statement": "", "advice": "Use the formula triangle: $D$ is distance, $T$ is time, $S$ is speed.
\n
Check the units before you do the calculation.
In this question, $D$ is in m, $T$ in sec and $S$ in m/sec, which are consistent with each other, so we can continue.
We are asked to find the distance travelled, this is $D$ in the triangle. Cover $D$ with your finger and the remaining part of the triangle gives the formula we need, i.e.
\n\\[D = T \\times S\\]
\nThe values we have are $T = \\var{t}$ and $S=\\var{u}$.
\n
Therefore
\\[D = \\var{t} \\times \\var{u}\\]
\n\\[D = \\var{t*u}\\] m
