how do you calculate the rate of time it would take to drive a specific distance?

I cheat and go to Rand McNally web site--enter the address for the starting point and destination--it will give you directions, tell you how many miles, and travel time.

You just divide the distance by the average speed that you will be travelling, making sure to allow for rest stops along the way.

it's not "rate of time"

rate is the speed you travel

The formula is (rate)X(time)=(distance)

I assume you want to know how much time it takes to go a specific distance at a specific speed

so (time)=(distance)/(rate)

t=d/r

example:

How long (time) would it take to travel 500 miles (distance) at 50 mph (rate)

time= 500 / 50

time = 10

It would take 10 hours (time)

distance=rate*time. Plug in the distance and the rate (speed limit on average?).

I always figure out how many miles it is, and then divide that by 50 to find out how many hours it will take me. That leaves me time to stop to go to the bathroom, eat, buy gas, etc., and I still usually get there earlier than I counted on so that I'm pleasantly surprised.

Rate equals distance divided by time. (r=d/t)

by smoking 1-2-3 cigarettes !!

speed you will be traveling by miles. like if your travelling 60 mph and going sixty miles away it would take you 1 hour

distance/speed = time.

Try this. Good luck.
