1.A train travels at 75 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 225 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 75 × 3
- = 225 km
2.Sienna travels 210 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 70 km/h

3.A car travels 380 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 380 ÷ 95
- = 4 h = 4 hours
4.Harper travels 255 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 85 km/h

8.A car travels 330 km at an average speed of 110 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 330 ÷ 110
- = 3 h = 3 hours
9.A train travels at 40 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 80 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 2
- = 80 km
10.A train travels at 65 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 195 km

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.
