Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 80 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 400 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 80 × 5
- = 400 km
2.A car travels 300 km at an average speed of 60 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 300 ÷ 60
- = 5 h = 5 hours
3.Mia travels 140 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 70 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 140 ÷ 2
- = 70 km/h
4.Ava travels 80 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 20 km/h
- time = 4 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 80 ÷ 4
- = 20 km/h
5.A train travels at 55 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 220 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 4
- = 220 km
6.A train travels at 95 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 190 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 95 × 2
- = 190 km
7.A train travels at 105 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 525 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 5
- = 525 km
8.Isla travels 150 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 150 ÷ 5
- = 30 km/h
9.A train travels at 20 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 60 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 20 × 3
- = 60 km
10.Emma travels 40 km in 1 hour. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 40 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.
