Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 60 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 240 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 60 × 4
- = 240 km
2.A train travels at 75 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 150 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 75 × 2
- = 150 km
3.Mia travels 90 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 45 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 90 ÷ 2
- = 45 km/h
4.A train travels at 105 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 210 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 2
- = 210 km
5.Olivia travels 500 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 100 km/h
- time = 5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 500 ÷ 5
- = 100 km/h
6.A train travels at 55 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 55 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 1
- = 55 km
7.A car travels 240 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 2 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 240 ÷ 120
- = 2 h = 2 hours
8.A car travels 240 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 240 ÷ 80
- = 3 h = 3 hours
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.Noah travels 70 km in 1 hour. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 70 km/h
- time = 1 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 70 ÷ 1
- = 70 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.
