The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or d = r × t
Things to watch out for:
Make sure that you change the units when necessary. For example, if the rate is given in miles per hour and the time is given in minutes then change the units appropriately.
It would be helpful to use a table to organize the information for distance problems. A table helps you to think about one number at a time instead being confused by the question.
The following diagrams give the steps to solve Distance-Rate-Time Problems. Scroll down the page for examples and solutions. We will show you how to solve distance problems by the following examples:

Answer:
1.67 m, 8.33 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of lengths is 1 : 5, then the ratio of the shortest length to the total is ...
1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6
The shortest length is (10 m)×(1/6) = 1.67 m. The longer length is 10 -1.67 = 8.33 m.
The lengths of the pieces are 8.33 m and 1.67 m.

Answer: 36.67 grams of water is added.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of water is added be 'x'.
Amount of sugar = 5 g
We need to make 12% of sugar syrup.
x grams of water is added to 5 g of sugar, to 12% of sugar syrup.
so, it becomes,
Hence, 36.67 grams of water is added.
