Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.Oliver travels 180 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 60 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 180 ÷ 3
- = 60 km/h
2.A train travels at 115 km/h for 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 57.5 km
- time = 0.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 115 × 0.5
- = 57.5 km
3.A train travels at 20 km/h for 1 hour 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 25 km
- time = 1.25 h
- distance = speed × time = 20 × 1.25
- = 25 km
4.A car travels 40 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 40 ÷ 80
- = 0.5 h = 30 minutes
5.Max travels 75 km in 2 hours 30 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 2.5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 75 ÷ 2.5
- = 30 km/h
6.A train travels at 35 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 105 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 35 × 3
- = 105 km
7.A car travels 16.25 km at an average speed of 65 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 15 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 16.25 ÷ 65
- = 0.25 h = 15 minutes
8.Isla travels 23.75 km in 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 95 km/h
- time = 0.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 23.75 ÷ 0.25
- = 95 km/h
9.Grace travels 56.25 km in 1 hour 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 45 km/h
- time = 1.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 56.25 ÷ 1.25
- = 45 km/h
10.Sienna travels 43.75 km in 1 hour 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 35 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.
