1.A train travels at 50 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 250 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 50 × 5
- = 250 km
2.A car travels 230 km at an average speed of 115 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 230 ÷ 115
- = 2 h = 2 hours
3.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
4.Archie travels 180 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 60 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 180 ÷ 3

- time = distance ÷ speed = 330 ÷ 110
- = 3 h = 3 hours
7.Archie travels 85 km in 1 hour. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 85 km/h
- time = 1 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 85 ÷ 1
- = 85 km/h
8.A car travels 150 km at an average speed of 50 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 150 ÷ 50

9.A car travels 20 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 20 ÷ 20
- = 1 h = 1 hour
10.A car travels 30 km at an average speed of 30 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour

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.
