    Kevin and his family are going camping in Yellowstone National Park. Kevin tracked the family’s journey from Denver on his map and saw that they drove about 540 miles in nine hours. The family only made brief stops along the way, and Kevin wants to know how fast the car must have been traveling. How can Kevin calculate the car’s speed based on the information he already has?
    ::Kevin和他的家人正在黄石公园露营。 Kevin在他的地图上追踪了家人从丹佛的行程,看到他们九小时开540英里。 家人在路上只停留了短暂的路程,Kevin想知道汽车的行驶速度。 Kevin如何根据他已经掌握的信息计算汽车的速度?

    In this concept, you will learn to use the formula for distance to calculate distances, rates and times.
    ::在此概念中,您将学会使用距离公式来计算距离、速度和时间。

    Distance, Rate and Time
    ::距离、速度和时间

    Formulas can be used to calculate distance, rate and time.
    ::公式可用于计算距离、速度和时间。

    Distance is the measure of how far you travel. The rate is the measure of the speed that you travel. How long you travel is the measure of time .
    ::距离是测量您行走多远的尺度。 速度是测量您行走速度的尺度。 旅行多长时间是测量时间的尺度 。

    When using the formula involving distance, rate, and time, it is essential that you pay attention to the units used in the problem. If the rate in the problem gives miles per hour (mph), then time must be in hours. If the time is given in minutes, divide by sixty to determine the number of hours prior to solving the equation .
    ::当使用涉及距离、速率和时间的公式时,您必须注意问题中使用的单位。如果问题的速率给出每小时英里数(mph),那么时间必须是小时数。如果时间以分钟计,则除以60以决定解方程之前的小时数。

    To find distance, use the formula:
    ::要找到距离, 请使用公式 :

    Distance = rate × time

    ::距离=时间

    To find rate, divide both sides of the equation by time.
    ::为了找到比率,将等式的两边按时间分开。

    Rate = Distance Time

    ::速率=差时

    To find time, divide both sides of the equation by rate.
    ::寻找时间,将等式的两边除以速率。

    Time = Distance Rate

    ::时间=差数Rate

    Let’s look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    The Murphy Family drove for three and a half hours from Manhattan, New York to Providence, Rhode Island at a rate of fifty-three miles per hour. Determine the distance the Murphy’s traveled.
    ::墨菲家族从纽约曼哈顿开往罗得岛普罗维登斯的车程为3个半小时,每小时53英里。 确定墨菲的行驶距离。

    First, you need to think about what you are asked to solve for. In this problem, you need to figure out the distance that the Murphy family traveled.
    ::首先,你需要想一想你被要求解决什么问题。在这个问题上,你需要弄清楚墨菲家族所走的距离。

    Distance = rate × time

    ::距离=时间

    Next, take the given information from the problem and substitute that information into the formula.
    ::其次,从问题中取出所提供的信息,并将这些信息替换为公式。

    Distance = rate × time Distance = 53   m p h × 3.5   h

    ::远程=ratextime distance=53 mphx3.5 h

    Then, calculate the distance by multiplying the rate by the time.
    ::然后,通过乘以时速计算距离。

    Distance = 53 × 3.5 Distance = 185.5

    ::距离=53x3.5 距离=185.5

    The answer is 185.5.
    ::答案是185.5。

    The distance that the Murphy family traveled was 185.5 miles.
    ::墨菲一家旅行的距离是185.5英里

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about  Kevin’s family vacation.
    ::Kevin的家事假期问题。

    Kevin knows that they drove 540 miles in nine hours and wants to determine how fast they were driving, that is, the rate.
    ::凯文知道他们九小时内开540英里 想要确定他们开的有多快 也就是速率

    First, consider the formula to solve for the rate.
    ::首先,考虑解决费率的公式。

    Rate = Distance Time

    ::速率=差时

    Next, fill in what you know.
    ::接下来 填上你所知道的

    x = 540 9

    ::x=5409

    Then, solve for x .
    ::那么,解决x。

    x = 540 9 x = 60

    ::x=5409x=60

    The answer is 60.
    ::答案是60岁

    The rate (speed) is 60 mph.
    ::速度(速度)为60米。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    A train traveled 255 miles in 300 minutes. Determine the rate at which the train was traveling.
    ::火车在300分钟内行驶255英里 确定火车的行驶速度

    First, convert the 300 minutes into hours since rate (or speed) is normally measured in miles per hour.
    ::首先,将300分钟转换成小时,因为标准(或速度)通常以每小时英里计量。

    # h o u r s = 300   m i n × 1   h o u r 60   m i n # h o u r s = 5   h r

    ::# 小时= 300 分钟1x1小时60 分钟# 小时= 5小时

    Next, use the rate formula to find the rate.
    ::接下来,使用速率公式来找到速率。

    Rate = Distance Time Rate = 255 5 Rate = 51

    ::速率=残疾时间Rate=2555Rate=51

    The answer is 50.
    ::答案是50

    The train was travelling at a rate (or speed) of 51 miles per hour.
    ::火车的车速(或速度)为每小时51英里。
