Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A car travels 600 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 5 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 600 ÷ 120
- = 5 h = 5 hours
2.Lucas travels 60 km in 2 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 30 km/h
- time = 2 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 60 ÷ 2
- = 30 km/h
3.A train travels at 30 km/h for 1 hour. How far does it travel?
Answer: 30 km
- time = 1 h
- distance = speed × time = 30 × 1
- = 30 km
4.Amelia travels 250 km in 5 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 50 km/h
- time = 5 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 250 ÷ 5
- = 50 km/h
5.Aisha travels 165 km in 3 hours. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 55 km/h
- time = 3 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 165 ÷ 3
- = 55 km/h
6.A train travels at 50 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 100 km
- time = 2 h
- distance = speed × time = 50 × 2
- = 100 km
7.A train travels at 30 km/h for 5 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 150 km
- time = 5 h
- distance = speed × time = 30 × 5
- = 150 km
8.A train travels at 50 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 150 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 50 × 3
- = 150 km
9.A car travels 285 km at an average speed of 95 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 285 ÷ 95
- = 3 h = 3 hours
10.A car travels 25 km at an average speed of 25 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 1 hour
- time = distance ÷ speed = 25 ÷ 25
- = 1 h = 1 hour
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.
