    Speed Machines

    �- FORMULA : SPEED = Distance 7 Time

    Round answers to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)!

    1 . NASCAR fans love race day when they get a chance to cheer on their favorite team! If

    a driver was able to travel 600 miles in 3 hours, what was his average speed?

    2. The fastest car on Earth, a British-made Thrust SSC, would win every NASCAR race in

    America. If it takes 0.5 hours (30 minutes) to travel 380 miles, what is its speed?

    3 . The fastest train on Earth, the TGV from France, can travel at faster speeds than trains in

    the United States. During a speed test, the train traveled 800 miles in 2.5 hours. What is its

    speed?

    4. Spirit of Australia, a hydroplane boat, made speed records by traveling 239 miles in

    0.75 hours (45 minutes). What is its record-breaking speed?

    ·- -

    5 . The fastest plane ever made, the Lockheed SR7 l , was able to travel 2200 miles per hour.

    Based on this speed, how far could it travel in:

    a. 2 hours? b. 3 hours? c . 5 hours?
