1.Ethan travels 190 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 95 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 190 ÷ 2
- = 95 km/h
2.Olivia travels 105 km in 1 hour. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 105 km/h
- time = 1 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 105 ÷ 1
- = 105 km/h
3.A train travels at 90 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 90 km

- distance = speed × time = 90 × 1
- = 90 km
4.A train travels at 40 km/h for 4 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 160 km
- time = 4 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 4
- = 160 km
5.A train travels at 75 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 75 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 75 × 1

- speed = distance ÷ time = 450 ÷ 5
- = 90 km/h
7.A car travels 425 km at an average speed of 85 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 425 ÷ 85
- = 5 h = 5 hours
8.Ruby travels 230 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 115 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.
