1.Tom travels 345 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 115 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 345 ÷ 3
- = 115 km/h
2.A train travels at 90 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 270 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 90 × 3
- = 270 km
3.A car travels 137.5 km at an average speed of 110 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 15 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 137.5 ÷ 110
- = 1.25 h = 1 hour 15 minutes
4.A train travels at 85 km/h for 1 hour 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 127.5 km
- time = 1.5 h

- = 127.5 km
5.A car travels 150 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 15 minutes

- = 120 km/h
7.A train travels at 25 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 75 km

- distance = speed × time = 25 × 3
- = 75 km
8.Aisha travels 225 km in 2 hours 30 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 90 km/h

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.
