Formula

A formula is like a recipe that tells you how to do something. It usually uses numbers and symbols to show you what to do. For example, if you wanted to figure out how far you could walk in 1 hour, you would use a formula that looks like "distance = speed x time". This formula tells you to multiply the speed (how fast you're walking) by the time (1 hour). The answer it gives you is the distance you could walk in 1 hour.
