| Speed = | Distance moved | ||
| Time taken | |||
| Distance between school A and school B is 60 miles measured on the OS map. | |||
| Time taken for shadow to move from school A to school B is 10.05 - 10.03 = 2 minutes | |||
| Speed = | Distance moved = | 60 miles | = 30 miles |
| Time taken | 2 minutes | per minute | |
| Speed of moon's shadow in this example = 30 x 60 = 1800 miles per hour | |||
