About Speed Distance Time Calculator

This online calculator tool can be a great help for calculating time basing on such physical concepts as speed and distance. Therefore, in order to calculate the time, both distance and speed parameters must be entered. For the speed, you need to enter its value and select speed unit by using the scroll down menu in the calculator. For distance, you should enter its value and also select the proper length measurement unit from the scroll down menu. You'll receive the result in standard time format (HH:MM:SS).

Time Speed Distance Formula

Distance is equal to speed × time. Time is equal Distance/Speed.

Distance = Speed × Time
Speed = Distance / Time
Time = Distance / Speed

Calculate Time from Distance and Speed Examples

Example 1:
----------------------------------
Speed: 50 mile per hour (km/h)
Distance: 70 miles

Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 70 km / (50 km/h)
Time = 1.4 h

1 hour = 60 minutes
0.4 h = 0.4 × 60
0.4 h = 24 minutes

Time = 1 hour 24 minutes
Time = 01:24:00 (HH:MM:SS)

Example 2:
----------------------------------
Speed: 40 kilometer per hour (km/h)
Distance: 60 miles

Time = Distance / Speed
Time = 60 miles / (40 km/h)

1 mile = 1.609344 km

Time = 60 × 1.609344 km / (40 km/h)
Time = 96.56064 km (40 km/h)
Time = 2.414016 h

Hours = 2 h

1 hour = 60 minutes
0.414016 h = 0.414016 × 60
0.414016 h = 24.84096 minutes
Minutes = 24 min

1 minute = 60 second
0.84096 min = 0.84096 × 60 sec
0.84096 min = 50 sec (approximately)
Seconds = 50 sec

Time = 2 hours 24 minutes 50 seconds
Time = 02:24:50 (HH:MM:SS)

30 miles per hour / 60 = 1/2 mile per minute = 1 mile every 2 minutes.
if he traveled 5 miles, then he traveled 5 * 2 minutes which means he traveled 10 minutes.
-----
i converted to minutes first.
-----
i could have done in hours first and then converted to minutes as follows:
30 miles per hour / 6 = 5 miles every 1/6 of an hour.
he traveled 1/6 of an hour.
this is equivalent to 10 minutes.
-----
the formula to use is D = R*T
D = distance
R = rate of travel
T = time
-----
we know D and we know R and we are solving for T.
-----
D = 5 miles
R = 30 miles per hour
T = x
-----
formula becomes:
5 = 30 * x
divide both sides by 30
5/30 = x
simplify
1/6 = x
x = 1/6 hours which is the same as 10 minutes after multiplying by 60 minutes for each hour.

How many miles is a 10 minute drive?

Formula is simple, Distance Travelled is = Speed * Time. Time of travel is 10 Minutes which is equal to 10/60 Hours = 1/6 Hour. D = 30 * (1/6) = 5 Miles. That means, with a speed of 30 MPH, if moving object travels for 10 minutes, the moving object moves a distance of 5 Miles.
