Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.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
2.Layla travels 400 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 100 km/h
- time = 4 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 400 ÷ 4
- = 100 km/h
3.Layla travels 260 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 65 km/h
- time = 4 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 260 ÷ 4
- = 65 km/h
4.A train travels at 60 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 180 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 60 × 3
- = 180 km
5.Mia travels 100 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 50 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 100 ÷ 2
- = 50 km/h
6.A train travels at 110 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 330 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 110 × 3
- = 330 km
7.Amelia travels 525 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 105 km/h
- time = 5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 525 ÷ 5
- = 105 km/h
8.A car travels 220 km at an average speed of 110 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 220 ÷ 110
- = 2 h = 2 hours
9.A train travels at 65 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 130 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 65 × 2
- = 130 km
10.A car travels 300 km at an average speed of 60 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 300 ÷ 60
- = 5 h = 5 hours
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.
