Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.Aisha 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 train travels at 55 km/h for 1 hour 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 82.5 km
- time = 1.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 1.5
- = 82.5 km
3.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
4.A train travels at 85 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 63.75 km
- time = 0.75 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 0.75
- = 63.75 km
5.A train travels at 45 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 33.75 km
- time = 0.75 h
- distance = speed × time = 45 × 0.75
- = 33.75 km
6.A car travels 270 km at an average speed of 90 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 270 ÷ 90
- = 3 h = 3 hours
7.A car travels 71.25 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 45 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 71.25 ÷ 95
- = 0.75 h = 45 minutes
8.A car travels 125 km at an average speed of 50 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 125 ÷ 50
- = 2.5 h = 2 hours 30 minutes
9.A train travels at 90 km/h for 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 22.5 km
- time = 0.25 h
- distance = speed × time = 90 × 0.25
- = 22.5 km
10.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
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.
