Measure the time it takes you to walk
from your house to your bus stop or
the school. If you consider that your
average walking speed is 4 km h,
estimate the distance of the bus stop
or school from your house.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance formula given the speed and time is given by :

Distance = Speed × time

In this case we should understand that the distance remains constant.

The speed and time can vary for different people.

So in this case we have the distance from your house to the bus stop or the school.

In this case you need to measure the time you take to reach the school or the bus stop from the house.

Once you do this then you can substitute in the formula above.

Lets say it takes you 2 hours from the house to the bus stop or to the school the distance will be :

2 × 4 = 8km
