Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 30 km/h for 1 hour 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 45 km
- time = 1.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 30 × 1.5
- = 45 km
2.A train travels at 55 km/h for 2 hours 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 137.5 km
- time = 2.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 55 × 2.5
- = 137.5 km
3.A train travels at 65 km/h for 2 hours 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 162.5 km
- time = 2.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 65 × 2.5
- = 162.5 km
4.A train travels at 105 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 315 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 3
- = 315 km
5.A train travels at 20 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 60 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 20 × 3
- = 60 km
6.A car travels 71.25 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 45 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 71.25 ÷ 95
- = 0.75 h = 45 minutes
7.A car travels 30 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour 30 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 30 ÷ 20
- = 1.5 h = 1 hour 30 minutes
8.A train travels at 25 km/h for 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 6.25 km
- time = 0.25 h
- distance = speed × time = 25 × 0.25
- = 6.25 km
9.A train travels at 45 km/h for 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 22.5 km
- time = 0.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 45 × 0.5
- = 22.5 km
10.Lucas travels 75 km in 1 hour 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 60 km/h
- time = 1.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 75 ÷ 1.25
- = 60 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.
