Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 85 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 170 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 2
- = 170 km
2.Layla 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
3.A car travels 25 km at an average speed of 25 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 25 ÷ 25
- = 1 h = 1 hour
4.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
5.A train travels at 110 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 550 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 110 × 5
- = 550 km
6.A car travels 525 km at an average speed of 105 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 525 ÷ 105
- = 5 h = 5 hours
7.A train travels at 115 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 115 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 115 × 1
- = 115 km
8.A car travels 400 km at an average speed of 100 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 400 ÷ 100
- = 4 h = 4 hours
9.Olivia travels 200 km in 4 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 50 km/h
- time = 4 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 200 ÷ 4
- = 50 km/h
10.Priya 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.
