Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 100 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 200 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 100 × 2
- = 200 km
2.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
3.Lucas travels 210 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 105 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 210 ÷ 2
- = 105 km/h
4.Leo 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
5.A train travels at 40 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 120 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 40 × 3
- = 120 km
6.A car travels 500 km at an average speed of 100 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 500 ÷ 100
- = 5 h = 5 hours
7.Layla travels 210 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 70 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 210 ÷ 3
- = 70 km/h
8.A train travels at 80 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 240 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 80 × 3
- = 240 km
9.A car travels 35 km at an average speed of 35 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 35 ÷ 35
- = 1 h = 1 hour
10.A car travels 260 km at an average speed of 65 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 4 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 260 ÷ 65
- = 4 h = 4 hours
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.
