Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 360 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
72 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 360 ÷ 5 = 72 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 192 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
48 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 192 ÷ 4 = 48 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 352 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
44 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 352 ÷ 8 = 44 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 420 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
84 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 420 ÷ 5 = 84 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 472 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
59 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 472 ÷ 8 = 59 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 830 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
83 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 830 ÷ 10 = 83 km/h.

Average speed = distance ÷ time = 195 ÷ 5 = 39 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 770 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
77 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 770 ÷ 10 = 77 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 217 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
31 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 217 ÷ 7 = 31 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 252 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
63 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 252 ÷ 4 = 63 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 215 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
43 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 215 ÷ 5 = 43 km/h.
