This math chapter workbook on "Rates and Speed" covers what rates and speed represent and how they apply to real-world scenarios. Practical word problems involving both unit rates and speed are included. Students will learn to convert between units, such as kilometers per hour to meters per second.
One problem might involve calculating the speed of a cyclist who travels 30 kilometers in 2 hours and teaching students to apply the formula speed = distance/time. Another problem could ask students to determine how long it takes for a car traveling at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour to cover a distance of 180 kilometers.
