How to calculate travel time
What is travel time?
Travel time is the time it takes to travel a distance at a certain speed.
Speed is the distance traveled per unit time, so to find the time required, you can divide the distance traveled by the speed.
Example: If you drive 30km at 10km per hour, how long will it take?
Travel time = Distance ÷ Speed, so
Travel time = 30(km) ÷ 10(km/h)
= 3(h)
So the estimated time required is 3 hours.
Calculation method when units are different
Depending on the units of distance traveled and speed, you may need to convert units.
Example: If you walk 8000m at 4km per hour, how long will it take?
In this case, the unit of distance is meters and the unit of speed is kilometers per hour, so we will convert the speed.
1km=1000m, so 4km/h=4000m/h.
Travel time = Distance ÷ Speed, so
Travel time = 8000(m) ÷ 4000(m/h)
= 2(h)
So the estimated time required is 2 hours.
