1.A car travels 360 km at an average speed of 90 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 360 ÷ 90
- = 4 h = 4 hours
2.A train travels at 70 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 350 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 70 × 5
- = 350 km
3.A train travels at 50 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 50 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 50 × 1
- = 50 km
4.A train travels at 85 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 170 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 2
- = 170 km
5.A car travels 105 km at an average speed of 35 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 105 ÷ 35
- = 3 h = 3 hours
6.A car travels 40 km at an average speed of 40 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 40 ÷ 40
- = 1 h = 1 hour
7.Jayden travels 90 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 45 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 90 ÷ 2
- = 45 km/h
8.A train travels at 55 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 275 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 5
- = 275 km
9.A car travels 425 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 425 ÷ 85
- = 5 h = 5 hours
10.A car travels 375 km at an average speed of 75 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 375 ÷ 75
- = 5 h = 5 hours
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
