Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time and time = distance ÷ speed. Change minutes to hours (÷ 60) before calculating.
1.A train travels at 105 km/h for 1 hour 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 157.5 km
- time = 1.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 1.5
- = 157.5 km
2.A train travels at 90 km/h for 1 hour 15 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 112.5 km
- time = 1.25 h
- distance = speed × time = 90 × 1.25
- = 112.5 km
3.A car travels 135 km at an average speed of 45 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 135 ÷ 45
- = 3 h = 3 hours
4.Priya travels 22.5 km in 15 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 90 km/h
- time = 0.25 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 22.5 ÷ 0.25
- = 90 km/h
5.Leo travels 33.75 km in 45 minutes. What is the average speed in km/h?
Answer: 45 km/h
- time = 0.75 h
- speed = distance ÷ time = 33.75 ÷ 0.75
- = 45 km/h
6.A train travels at 105 km/h for 2 hours 30 minutes. How far does it travel?
Answer: 262.5 km
- time = 2.5 h
- distance = speed × time = 105 × 2.5
- = 262.5 km
7.A train travels at 85 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 255 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 85 × 3
- = 255 km
8.A car travels 30 km at an average speed of 120 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 15 minutes
- time = distance ÷ speed = 30 ÷ 120
- = 0.25 h = 15 minutes
9.A train travels at 120 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Answer: 360 km
- time = 3 h
- distance = speed × time = 120 × 3
- = 360 km
10.A car travels 60 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the trip take?
Answer: 3 hours
- time = distance ÷ speed = 60 ÷ 20
- = 3 h = 3 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.
