Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 59 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
59 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 59 ÷ 1 = 59 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 696 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
87 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 696 ÷ 8 = 87 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 50 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
10 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 50 ÷ 5 = 10 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 738 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
82 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 738 ÷ 9 = 82 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 900 km in 9 hours. Find its average speed.
100 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 900 ÷ 9 = 100 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 414 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
69 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 414 ÷ 6 = 69 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 820 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
82 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 820 ÷ 10 = 82 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 91 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
13 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 91 ÷ 7 = 13 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 300 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
60 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 300 ÷ 5 = 60 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 74 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
74 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 74 ÷ 1 = 74 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 8 km in 2 hours. Find its average speed.
4 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 24 km in 6 hours. Find its average speed.
4 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 24 ÷ 6 = 4 km/h.
