Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 53 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
53 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 53 ÷ 1 = 53 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 110 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
11 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 110 ÷ 10 = 11 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 91 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
91 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 91 ÷ 1 = 91 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 159 km in 3 hours. Find its average speed.
53 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 159 ÷ 3 = 53 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 150 km in 2 hours. Find its average speed.
75 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 150 ÷ 2 = 75 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 148 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
37 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 148 ÷ 4 = 37 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 364 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
91 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 364 ÷ 4 = 91 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 59 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
59 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 59 ÷ 1 = 59 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 119 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
17 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 119 ÷ 7 = 17 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 174 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
29 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 174 ÷ 6 = 29 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 12 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
2 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 12 ÷ 6 = 2 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 245 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
49 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 245 ÷ 5 = 49 km/h.
