This math topic focuses on determining which of two scenarios results in a greater distance traveled, using the same units of measurement. Students solve problems involving various moving entities, such as bacteria, cars, horses, and bugs. Each problem provides the speed and duration of motion for two subjects and asks which travels further. The skills practiced include multiplying rates by time to compute distance and comparing the results to identify the greater value. This topic is a part of a broader unit on speed, distance, and time.
