Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. A vehicle travels 360 km in 4 hours. Find its average speed.
90 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 360 ÷ 4 = 90 km/h.
2. A vehicle travels 305 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
61 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 305 ÷ 5 = 61 km/h.
3. A vehicle travels 17 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
17 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 17 ÷ 1 = 17 km/h.
4. A vehicle travels 28 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
4 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 28 ÷ 7 = 4 km/h.
5. A vehicle travels 64 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
64 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 64 ÷ 1 = 64 km/h.
6. A vehicle travels 355 km in 5 hours. Find its average speed.
71 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 355 ÷ 5 = 71 km/h.
7. A vehicle travels 55 km in 1 hours. Find its average speed.
55 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 55 ÷ 1 = 55 km/h.
8. A vehicle travels 472 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
59 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 472 ÷ 8 = 59 km/h.
9. A vehicle travels 146 km in 2 hours. Find its average speed.
73 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 146 ÷ 2 = 73 km/h.
10. A vehicle travels 90 km in 10 hours. Find its average speed.
9 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 90 ÷ 10 = 9 km/h.
11. A vehicle travels 656 km in 8 hours. Find its average speed.
82 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 656 ÷ 8 = 82 km/h.
12. A vehicle travels 567 km in 7 hours. Find its average speed.
81 km/h
Average speed = distance ÷ time = 567 ÷ 7 = 81 km/h.
