If a car travels at a constant speed, the distance the car travels in a certain time can be found using the relation d = st where d represents distance, s speed, and t time. This relationship can be expressed in words as
A) distance equals speed minus time.
B) multiply speed and time to obtain the distance traveled.
C) distance equals speed divided by time.
D) speed is the reciprocal of time and the inverse of distance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relationship d = st states that the distance traveled (d) is equal to the product of the speed (s) and time (t). Option B correctly describes this relationship in words. Option A is incorrect because it subtracts time from speed instead of multiplying them. Option C is incorrect because it divides speed by time instead of multiplying them. Option D is also incorrect because it incorrectly states the relationship between speed, time, and distance.
