1.A train travels at 110 km/h for 1 hour 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 137.5 km

- = 137.5 km
2.A train travels at 80 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 240 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 80 × 3
- = 240 km
3.A car travels 175 km at an average speed of 70 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 175 ÷ 70

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.
