Here's why:

* Distance = Speed x Time

If you increase the speed while keeping the time constant, the product of speed and time (which equals distance) will also increase.

Example:

* Imagine you're driving at 30 miles per hour for 1 hour. You cover a distance of 30 miles (30 mph x 1 hour = 30 miles).

* Now, let's say you increase your speed to 60 miles per hour but still travel for 1 hour. You will cover a distance of 60 miles (60 mph x 1 hour = 60 miles).

Therefore, increasing speed directly results in covering a greater distance in the same amount of time.
