Step 1: What are you trying to find?

Step 2: What do you already know?

Step 3: Choose the right equation. 

Step 4: Plug in your numbers

Step 5: Solve for the answer

 

Example: You run from school to the Dairy Queen, 1 km away, in 10 minutes.  What is your speed?

 

(Write unknown) speed = ?

 

(Write known) d = 1km, t = 10 min = 1/6 h

 

(Write equation) s = d/t

 

(Plug in Numbers) s = 1km/ (1/6 h)

 

(Solve) s = 6 km/h
