Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 70 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 140 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 70 × 2
- = 140 km
2.A car travels 300 km at an average speed of 100 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 300 ÷ 100
- = 3 h = 3 hours
3.A train travels at 120 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 240 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 120 × 2
- = 240 km
4.A car travels 90 km at an average speed of 90 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 90 ÷ 90
- = 1 h = 1 hour
5.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
6.A train travels at 105 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 420 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 4
- = 420 km
7.A train travels at 40 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 120 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 3
- = 120 km
8.A car travels 400 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 400 ÷ 80
- = 5 h = 5 hours
9.A car travels 210 km at an average speed of 70 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 210 ÷ 70
- = 3 h = 3 hours
10.A train travels at 110 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 440 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 110 × 4
- = 440 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.
