This math topic focuses on problems related to speed, distance, and time, under the advanced section. It involves calculating the distance traveled by one of two cars when both travel at the same speed, but for different durations. Each problem sets up a scenario where Car A and Car B travel the same speed, but Car A’s travel time differs (either more or less) than Car B’s, with the known distance of Car A provided. Learners must then figure out the distance that Car B traveled. These problems help in understanding the relationships and applications of the basic speed-distance-time formula in a comparative manner.
