Average Distance Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the average distance traveled.
D_{avg} = S_{avg}\cdot T- Where Davg is the distance traveled (ft)
- Savg is the average speed (ft/s)
- T is the total time (s)
To calculate an average distance, simply multiply the average speed by the time.
How to Calculate Average Distance?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Average Distance.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the average speed (ft/s).
- The average speed (ft/s) is given as: 60.
- Next, determine the total time (s).
- The total time (s) is provided as: 8.
- Finally, calculate the Average Distance using the equation above:
Davg = Savg * T
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
Davg = 60 * 8 = 480 (ft)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
average speed (ft/s) = 75
total time (s) = 100
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Davg = Savg * T = ?
