Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 35 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 26.25 km
- time = 0.75 h
- distance = speed × time = 35 × 0.75
- = 26.25 km
2.A car travels 30 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 30 ÷ 20
- = 1.5 h = 1 hour 30 minutes
3.A train travels at 95 km/h for 1 hour 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 142.5 km
- time = 1.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 95 × 1.5
- = 142.5 km
4.A car travels 25 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 15 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 25 ÷ 20
- = 1.25 h = 1 hour 15 minutes
5.A car travels 16.25 km at an average speed of 65 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 15 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 16.25 ÷ 65
- = 0.25 h = 15 minutes
6.A car travels 57.5 km at an average speed of 115 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 57.5 ÷ 115
- = 0.5 h = 30 minutes
7.A car travels 87.5 km at an average speed of 35 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 87.5 ÷ 35
- = 2.5 h = 2 hours 30 minutes
8.A car travels 237.5 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 237.5 ÷ 95
- = 2.5 h = 2 hours 30 minutes
9.A train travels at 25 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 75 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 25 × 3
- = 75 km
10.A train travels at 65 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 48.75 km
- time = 0.75 h
- distance = speed × time = 65 × 0.75
- = 48.75 km
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.
