Formula: Speed=distance/time

1. Nascar driver, Jeff Gordon, has a car that is one of the fastest on the circuit. If it travels
600 miles in 4 hours, what is his cruising speed?

2. The fastest car on Earth, a German-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
