Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A car travels 85 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 85 ÷ 85
- = 1 h = 1 hour
2.Emma travels 100 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 20 km/h
- time = 5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 100 ÷ 5
- = 20 km/h
3.A car travels 105 km at an average speed of 35 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 105 ÷ 35
- = 3 h = 3 hours
4.A car travels 200 km at an average speed of 50 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 200 ÷ 50
- = 4 h = 4 hours
5.A train travels at 20 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 40 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 20 × 2
- = 40 km
6.A car travels 220 km at an average speed of 55 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 220 ÷ 55
- = 4 h = 4 hours
7.A car travels 25 km at an average speed of 25 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 25 ÷ 25
- = 1 h = 1 hour
8.A train travels at 65 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 195 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 65 × 3
- = 195 km
9.Leo travels 480 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 120 km/h
- time = 4 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 480 ÷ 4
- = 120 km/h
10.A train travels at 65 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 325 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 65 × 5
- = 325 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.
