Speed and Time to Distance - Return Trip (Level 1)

This math topic involves solving problems related to calculating distances based on given times and speeds in a return trip scenario. Specifically, it helps practice using the relationship between speed, distance, and time to determine how far a town is from the starting point when a car travels to the town and returns at a given average speed over differing time periods. The exercises include determining the town's distance using average speeds such as 20 km/hr, 30 km/hr, and 40 km/hr, facilitating the reinforcement of practical application of the fundamental speed-distance-time formula in various contexts.
