Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.Oliver travels 22.5 km in 30 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 45 km/h
- time = 0.5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 22.5 ÷ 0.5
- = 45 km/h
2.A car travels 120 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 120 ÷ 80
- = 1.5 h = 1 hour 30 minutes
3.A train travels at 95 km/h for 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 47.5 km
- time = 0.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 95 × 0.5
- = 47.5 km
4.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
5.Ethan travels 75 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 25 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 75 ÷ 3
- = 25 km/h
6.A train travels at 55 km/h for 2 hours 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 137.5 km
- time = 2.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 2.5
- = 137.5 km
7.A train travels at 120 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 360 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 120 × 3
- = 360 km
8.A car travels 225 km at an average speed of 75 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 225 ÷ 75
- = 3 h = 3 hours
9.A train travels at 50 km/h for 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 12.5 km
- time = 0.25 h
- distance = speed × time = 50 × 0.25
- = 12.5 km
10.A train travels at 85 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 255 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 3
- = 255 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.
