#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	If you have gone 70 meters in 1 hour, how fast were you going in meters/hour?
Solution Rate = Distance ÷ Time = (70 m) ÷ (1 hr) = 70 m/hr

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	If you have gone 40 miles in 1 minute, how fast were you going in miles/minute?
Solution Rate = Distance ÷ Time = (40 mi) ÷ (1 min) = 40 mi/min

Complexity=2, Mode=dist

Solve. Round to hundredths if need be. Remember to label your answers.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	If you have gone 20 kilometers/hour for 3 hours, how far have you gone in kilometers?
Solution Distance = Rate × Time = 20 km/hr × 3 hr = 60 km

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	If you have gone 50 millimeters/second for 3 seconds, how far have you gone in millimeters?
Solution Distance = Rate × Time = 50 mm/s × 3 s = 150 mm

Complexity=3, Mode=time

Solve. Round to hundredths if need be. Remember to label your answers.

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
1	If you have gone 30 meters at 30 meters/second, how much time has elapsed in seconds?
Solution Time = Distance ÷ Rate = (30 m) ÷ (30 m/s) = 1 s

#	Problem	Correct Answer	Your Answer
2	If you have gone 60 yards at 20 yards/hour, how much time has elapsed in hours?
Solution Time = Distance ÷ Rate = (60 yd) ÷ (20 yd/hr) = 3 hr
