This math topic covers calculating speed when distance and time are provided in the same units. The problems teach students how to determine the rate of motion for various entities, such as cars and bugs, by using simple division. Students practice calculating speed in units such as cm/ms, km/d, m/hr, and cm/min. Each problem provides multiple choices for answers, helping learners to reinforce their understanding of speed calculations within the broader context of an introductory unit on speed, distance, and time.
