1.A car travels 90 km at an average speed of 30 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 90 ÷ 30
- = 3 h = 3 hours
2.A car travels 50 km at an average speed of 100 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 50 ÷ 100
- = 0.5 h = 30 minutes
3.Priya travels 90 km in 45 minutes. 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.
