The document contains 13 math word problems involving calculations of speed, distance, and time. It asks the reader to calculate speed for swimmers, bikes, cars, baseballs, and comets traveling various distances over periods of time. It also asks the reader to compare the speeds of two swimmers and predict how far they could swim in 60 seconds based on their calculated average speeds.
