When you are in a car traveling at a steady velocity for a known amount of time, how can you determine how far you have traveled. (I need the formula and how you got it.)
----------------
If you go 1 km per hour for 1 hour ---> 1 km
1 km per hour means in an hour, you go 1 km
---------
distance = rate*time
distance (km) = r (km/hr) * t (hr)
Notice how the units cancel
