Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A car travels 380 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 380 ÷ 95
- = 4 h = 4 hours
2.A car travels 80 km at an average speed of 40 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 80 ÷ 40
- = 2 h = 2 hours
3.A train travels at 75 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 300 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 75 × 4
- = 300 km
4.A train travels at 105 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 315 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 3
- = 315 km
5.A train travels at 45 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 45 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 45 × 1
- = 45 km
6.A train travels at 85 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 425 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 5
- = 425 km
7.A train travels at 40 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 200 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 5
- = 200 km
8.A car travels 150 km at an average speed of 50 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 150 ÷ 50
- = 3 h = 3 hours
9.A train travels at 40 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 80 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 2
- = 80 km
10.A train travels at 75 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 225 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 75 × 3
- = 225 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.
