Speed

Which is Further - Same Units (Level 3)

This math topic focuses on understanding the relationship between speed, distance, and time to determine which of two scenarios results in a greater distance traveled. The problems present different entities (like horses, bacteria, and rockets) moving at constant speeds for various durations. The students are asked to decide which entity covers a greater distance under given conditions, with all comparisons made using the same units of measurement. This topic is part of a broader unit aimed at practicing calculations and concepts involving speed, distance, and time.
