Speed, distance and time worksheet

Part A: Working out and filling in

1. 1. 1200 m in 16 min = 75 m/min

   speed = distance ÷ time: 1200 ÷ 16 = 75 m/min

2. 2. 420 km in 6 h = 70 km/h

   speed = distance ÷ time: 420 ÷ 6 = 70 km/h

3. 3. 600 km in 5 h = 120 km/h

   speed = distance ÷ time: 600 ÷ 5 = 120 km/h

4. 4. 420 km at 70 km/h = 6 h

   time = distance ÷ speed: 420 ÷ 70 = 6 h

5. 5. 80 km in 4 h = 20 km/h

   speed = distance ÷ time: 80 ÷ 4 = 20 km/h

6. 6. 12 km/h for 5 h = 60 km

   distance = speed × time: 12 × 5 = 60 km

7. 7. 576 m at 18 m/s = 32 s

   time = distance ÷ speed: 576 ÷ 18 = 32 s

8. 8. 84 m in 28 s = 3 m/s

   speed = distance ÷ time: 84 ÷ 28 = 3 m/s

9. 9. 238 m in 17 s = 14 m/s

   speed = distance ÷ time: 238 ÷ 17 = 14 m/s

10. 10. 1020 m at 60 m/min = 17 min

    time = distance ÷ speed: 1020 ÷ 60 = 17 min

11. 11. 540 km at 90 km/h = 6 h

    time = distance ÷ speed: 540 ÷ 90 = 6 h

12. 12. 48 km/h for 2 h = 96 km

    distance = speed × time: 48 × 2 = 96 km

Part B: Word problems

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.

1. 13. A car travels at 40 km/h for 2 hours. How many kilometres does it travel? (Answer: 80 km)

   40 × 2 = 80

2. 14. Tsz-hin runs 245 m in 35 seconds. What is his average speed, in metres per second? (Answer: 7 m/s)

   245 ÷ 35 = 7

3. 15. A car travels at 65 km/h for 4 hours. How many kilometres does it travel? (Answer: 260 km)

   65 × 4 = 260

4. 16. Tsz-ching runs 50 m in 10 seconds. What is her average speed, in metres per second? (Answer: 5 m/s)

   50 ÷ 10 = 5

5. 17. Ka-lok walks to the library at 65 m/min. The walk is 845 m long. How many minutes does he take? (Answer: 13 minutes)

   845 ÷ 65 = 13

6. 18. Tsz-ching walks to the library at 65 m/min. The walk is 585 m long. How many minutes does she take? (Answer: 9 minutes)

   585 ÷ 65 = 9
