1.A car travels 285 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 285 ÷ 95
- = 3 h = 3 hours
2.A car travels 175 km at an average speed of 35 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 175 ÷ 35
- = 5 h = 5 hours
3.Ava travels 525 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 105 km/h

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.
