Speed, Distance, Time Practice
A community fun day is being set up around Aotearoa New Zealand. Use speed = distance ÷ time, distance = speed × time, and time = distance ÷ speed. Keep units consistent, show your working, and include units in every answer.
Work out the journey
Choose the right relationship and calculate. Remember: minutes must be converted to hours when using km/h.
1.Mere cycles 18 km in 1.5 hours on a training ride. What is her average speed in km/h? Show the calculation.
2.A support van travels at 72 km/h for 2.5 hours. How far does it travel?
3.A walking group covers 9 km at an average speed of 4.5 km/h. How long does the walk take?
4.A runner completes a 600 m course in 120 seconds. Calculate the runner’s average speed in m/s.
5.A minibus travels at 60 km/h for 45 minutes. How far does it travel? Convert 45 minutes to hours first.
Check and compare
Use units carefully to make fair comparisons.
6.Which is faster: a scooter travelling at 15 km/h or a person jogging at 4 m/s? Convert one speed so both are in the same units, then explain.
7.True or false? If a cyclist travels 10 km in 30 minutes, their average speed is 20 km/h. Give a calculation to support your answer.
8.A shuttle travels 36 km at 48 km/h. Choose its travel time.
- 30 minutes
- 45 minutes
- 1 hour 15 minutes
- 1 hour 30 minutes
9.Put these average speeds in order from slowest to fastest: 3 m/s, 12 km/h, and 15 km/h. Convert 3 m/s to km/h to help.
10.Design a possible route for a fun-day marshal: choose a speed between 40 and 60 km/h and a travel time between 1 and 3 hours. Calculate the distance, then explain how changing the speed while keeping the time the same would affect the distance.
Before you finish, check that each answer has the correct unit and that your time and distance units match the speed unit.
