Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 31 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
31 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 31 ÷ 1 = 31 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 220 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
44 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 220 ÷ 5 = 44 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 215 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
43 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 215 ÷ 5 = 43 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 29 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
29 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 29 ÷ 1 = 29 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 95 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
19 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 95 ÷ 5 = 19 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 328 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
82 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 328 ÷ 4 = 82 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 249 km in 3 hours. Find its average speed.
83 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 249 ÷ 3 = 83 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 42 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
7 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 42 ÷ 6 = 7 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 585 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
65 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 585 ÷ 9 = 65 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 80 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
20 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 80 ÷ 4 = 20 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 100 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
100 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 100 ÷ 1 = 100 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 185 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
37 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 185 ÷ 5 = 37 km/h.
