Calculating time, especially in relation to distance and speed, is a fundamental skill in mathematics. Understanding how to calculate time helps solve a variety of real-world problems, from planning travel schedules to organizing your day.
To find the time it will take Lisa to walk a certain distance, we need to know her walking rate and the distance she needs to cover. The rate we have is \[\frac{t}{3}\] blocks per minute.
Here is how to calculate:
- First, ensure you have the rate at which she walks.
- Then determine the total distance she needs to walk.
- Use the formula: \[\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Rate}}\].
By plugging in the values mentioned above, you can easily calculate the time for any given distance.
