Finding the Distance | Level 2

Introduce 7th grade and 8th grade learners to these pdf worksheets and let them solve intriguing exercises involving 2-digit and 3-digit speeds. This level includes the time format X hours Y minutes.

Finding the Distance | Word Problems

Get children aspiring to grab more of our speed, distance, and time worksheets to calculate the distance given the speed and time. Interactive and easy, the word problems draw on real-life scenarios.

Finding the Time

How easy is it to find the time when the speed and distance are known? Check it out! Practice finding the time by employing the formula time = distance / speed and remain head and shoulders above others.

Finding the Time | Word Problems

It’s time to test skills in finding the time using distance and speed! Get tons of realistic scenarios to calculate the time taken. Our word problems, a breath of fresh air, help hammer home the concept of time!

Mixed Revision Worksheets

Blend learning with excitement with this section of speed, distance, and time worksheets! Guide children to find one of the three measures given the other two. Be as consistent and correct as possible.

Mixed Revision | Word Problems

An eclectic mix of word problems, these printable mixed revision worksheets ensure students are on the ball from the get-go! Read each problem, analyze the given measures, and find the unknown one.

Comparing Speeds

Set grade 6, grade 7, and grade 8 children an exciting challenge to solve exercises and compare speeds! These pdf tools focus on finding who (person) or which (object) is faster given the distance and time.

Conversion of Units of Speed

A reliable companion that makes conversion among speeds - m/s, km/h, and mph - a breeze, these printables are teeming with a mix of easy and difficult exercises. Stay attentive as you forge ahead!

Distance, Rate, and Time Worksheets

• Pre Algebra & Algebra
• Math Tutorials
• Exponential Decay
• Worksheets By Grade

In math, distance, rate, and time are three important concepts you can use to solve many problems if you know the formula. Distance is the length of space traveled by a moving object or the length measured between two points. It is usually denoted by  d  in math problems.

The rate is the speed at which an object or person travels. It is usually denoted by  r  in equations. Time is the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues. In distance, rate, and time problems , time is measured as the fraction in which a particular distance is traveled. Time is usually denoted by  t  in equations.

Use these free, printable worksheets to help students learn and master these important math concepts. Each slide provides the student worksheet, followed by an identical worksheet that includes the answers for ease of grading. Each worksheet provides three distance, rate, and time problems for students to solve.

Worksheet No. 1

Print the PDF: Distance, Rate, and Time Worksheet No. 1

When solving distance problems, explain to students that they will use the formula:

or rate (speed) times time equals distance. For example, the first problem states:

The Prince David ship headed south at an average speed of 20 mph. Later the Prince Albert traveled north with an average speed of 20 mph. After the Prince David ship had traveled for eight hours, the ships were 280 miles apart. How many hours did the Prince David Ship Travel?

Students should find that the ship traveled for six hours.

Worksheet No. 2

Print the PDF: Distance, Rate, and Time Worksheet No. 2

If students are struggling, explain that to solve these problems, they will apply the formula that solves distance, rate, and time, which is  distance = rate x tim e. It is abbreviated as:

The formula can also be rearranged as:

r = d/t or  t = d/r

Let students know that there are many examples where you might use this formula in real life. For example, if you know the time and rate a person is traveling on a train, you can quickly calculate how far he traveled. And if you know the time and distance a passenger traveled on a plane, you could quickly figure the distance she traveled simply by reconfiguring the formula.

Worksheet No. 3

Print the PDF: Distance, Rate, Time Worksheet No. 3

On this worksheet, students will solve problems such as:

Two sisters Anna and Shay left the home at the same time. They headed out in opposite directions toward their destinations. Shay drove 50 mph faster than her sister Anna. Two hours later, they were 220 mph apart from each other. What was Anna’s average speed?

The students should find that Anna's average speed was 30 mph.

Worksheet No. 4

Print the PDF: Distance, Rate, Time Worksheet No. 4

Ryan left home and drove to his friend's house driving 28 mph. Warren left an hour after Ryan traveling at 35 mph hoping to catch up with Ryan. How long did Ryan drive before Warren caught up to him?

Students should find that Ryan drove for five hours before Warren caught up to him.

Worksheet No. 5

Print the PDF: Distance, Rate, and Time Worksheet No. 5

On this final worksheet, students will solve problems including:

Pam drove to the mall and back. It took one hour longer to go there than it did to come back home. The average speed she was traveling on the trip there was 32 mph. The average speed on the way back was 40 mph. How many hours did the trip there take?

They should find that Pam's trip took five hours.
