Math 7 Distance, Rate, Time Name: ______________________

Proportions Unit Relationships



Warm-up:
Solve each equation below for the indicated variable.

1. 2.5! 3.5 = x 2. 2.5! x = 18 3. x! 3.5 = 29.75






4. In an equation in the form a! b = c , explain how you know what to do to solve for a, or b, or
c.






For each situation below, first think about how you would figure out the answer without algebra.
Then, define a variable, set up an equation, solve it, and answer the question. Does your algebraic
method match up with how you thought you should solve the problem?

5. Lyz is hiking on the weekend. She
hikes at an average speed of 2 miles
per hour for 6 hours straight. How far
does she travel?


6. Lola travels for 4 hours on a train and
covers a distance of 190 miles. What is
her average speed?




You can do more practice with these types of problems or try ones that involve two parts in a trip.
Try to solve them using algebra. Check to see if your algebra matches up with your intuition.

More practice (a bit more tricky):
7. Kade leaves the house at 1 pm and
drives down the highway going at an
average speed of 68 mph to his soccer
camp, which is 85 miles away. What
time does he get there?
8. Erika was traveling on the Silk Road.
Her caravan was moving at an
average of 3 miles per hour, traveling
an average of 10 hours every day. It
took her 2 weeks to arrive at her
destination. How far away was it from
where she started?












Two parts in a trip (much more challenging):
9. Two trains start at the same point and
travel in opposite directions. One of
the trains moves at an average speed
of 40 mph. The other one travels at an
unknown speed. After 4 hours of
travel, the trains are 360 miles apart.
What was the average speed of the
second train?













10. Spencer decides to go for a long run.
He begins to run at an average rate of
9 mph. At some point, he gets tired
and turns around. He follows the
same route home, but goes only 6
mph. If the whole run took him 2.5
hours, how far did he run in total?
