- Speed, Distance, and Time
Two of speed, distance and time are given and the remaining one is found, and the Word Problems cover all three directions. Beyond questions where the units already correspond and one calculation gives the answer, two-tier questions appear that fix a unit before the arithmetic when speed or distance is asked for, and after it when time is asked for.

Because the three directions come one after another, the hand that divided on the previous question carries over and a division gets set up even where distance is wanted. In the expression box, the part belonging to the three uses is a division when speed or time is found and a multiplication when distance is found. That distinction does not move in the two-tier questions either.
In Converting Units of Speed the center is not the direction of the answer but restating the speed found in another way of speaking. This is the only lesson that handles all three directions at once.
