Calculate distance given speed and time.

", "licence": "None specified"}, "statement": "", "advice": "

Use the formula triangle: \"A     $D$ 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.

\n

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\\]

\n

The values we have are $T = \\var{t}$ and $S=\\var{u}$.

\n


Therefore

\n

\\[D = \\var{t} \\times \\var{u}\\]

\n

\\[D = \\var{t*u}\\] m
