Cheryl walked 30 miles west to the store; it took her 10 minutes.

Her speed was 3 miles per minute.

If a man was walking his cat on a leash,

they must be traveling at the same speed.

If an object is moving at a constant speed,

it will move the same length per time interval.

What is an interval of time?

a definite length of time marked off by two instances

ignorant of direction., a scalar quantity.

Duane set the cruise control on his car. He will cover

the same distance each hour., the same distance each minute.
