Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 110 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
11 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 110 ÷ 10 = 11 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 637 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
91 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 637 ÷ 7 = 91 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 156 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
26 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 156 ÷ 6 = 26 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 270 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
45 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 270 ÷ 6 = 45 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 168 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
24 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 168 ÷ 7 = 24 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 574 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
82 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 574 ÷ 7 = 82 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 640 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
64 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 640 ÷ 10 = 64 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 50 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
5 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 50 ÷ 10 = 5 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 720 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
90 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 720 ÷ 8 = 90 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 100 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
100 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 100 ÷ 1 = 100 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 275 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
55 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 275 ÷ 5 = 55 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 138 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
23 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 138 ÷ 6 = 23 km/h.
