Speed Distance Time Calculator

Fill in any two of the three - speed in km/h, distance in km, or time in hours and minutes - and the calculator works out the missing one, showing the formula it used. Great for Class 5-7 word problems and for estimating the school run or a road trip.

Time

Fill in any two of the three - speed, distance or time - and leave the third blank. The calculator works out the missing one instantly.

Parents also ask

What is the formula connecting speed, distance and time?

Speed = distance / time. Rearranged: distance = speed x time, and time = distance / speed. The classic memory aid is the DST triangle - D on top, S and T below - cover the one you want and the triangle shows the formula.

How do I convert km/h to m/s?

Multiply by 5/18. So 36 km/h is 10 m/s. To go the other way, multiply m/s by 18/5. This conversion is a favourite in Class 7 exams.

When do children meet these problems in school?

Simple speed-distance-time word problems start around Class 5 and get more involved (relative speed, trains crossing platforms) by Class 7 and 8.

How do I enter a time of 90 minutes?

Either 1 in the hours box and 30 in the minutes box, or just 90 in the minutes box - both work. The calculator converts everything to hours internally.
