Year 11 Speed, Distance and Time Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 3 — Answers
Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.Leo travels 10 km in 20 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 0.3333 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 10 ÷ 0.3333
- = 30 km/h
2.Sienna travels 75 km in 1 hour 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 60 km/h
- time = 1.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 75 ÷ 1.25
- = 60 km/h
3.Grace travels 20 km in 40 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 0.6667 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 20 ÷ 0.6667
- = 30 km/h
4.A train travels at 90 km/h for 20 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 30 km
- time = 0.3333 h
- distance = speed × time = 90 × 0.3333
- = 30 km
5.Hunter travels 270 km in 2 hours 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 120 km/h
- time = 2.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 270 ÷ 2.25
- = 120 km/h
6.A train travels at 60 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 45 km
- time = 0.75 h
- distance = speed × time = 60 × 0.75
- = 45 km
7.Liam travels 25 km in 50 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 0.8333 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 25 ÷ 0.8333
- = 30 km/h
8.Amelia travels 25 km in 50 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 0.8333 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 25 ÷ 0.8333
- = 30 km/h
9.Mia travels 180 km in 1 hour 30 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 120 km/h
- time = 1.5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 180 ÷ 1.5
- = 120 km/h
10.A train travels at 30 km/h for 1 hour 40 minutes. How far does it travel?
