1.A car travels 600 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 600 ÷ 120
- = 5 h = 5 hours
2.A car travels 120 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 120 ÷ 120
- = 1 h = 1 hour
3.A train travels at 120 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 120 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 120 × 1
- = 120 km
4.Priya travels 480 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 120 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.
