Sure! Let’s solve each problem step by step. The goal is to find
how fast you are going — that means calculating
speed, which is:
>
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
We’ll calculate the speed in
kilometers per hour (km/h) for consistency, since most of the times are given in hours or can be converted to hours.

1. You run 12 kilometers in 2 hours.
Speed = 12 km ÷ 2 h = 6 km/h
✔ Answer: 6
---
2. You fly 1,500 kilometers in just 2 hours.
Speed = 1,500 km ÷ 2 h = 750 km/h
✔ Answer: 750

3. The bus drives 6 km to school in 10 minutes.
First, convert 10 minutes to hours:
> 10 minutes = 10/60 hours = 1/6 hour ≈ 0.1667 hours
Speed = 6 km ÷ (1/6) h = 6 × 6 = 36 km/h
✔ Answer: 36
---
4. You walk 1 kilometer in only 12 minutes.
Convert 12 minutes to hours:
> 12 minutes = 12/60 = 1/5 hour = 0.2 hours
Speed = 1 km ÷ 0.2 h = 5 km/h
✔ Answer: 5

5. You ride 10 kilometers on your sled in 4 hours.
Speed = 10 km ÷ 4 h = 2.5 km/h
✔ Answer: 2.5
---
6. The train travels 180 kilometers in just 3 hours.
Speed = 180 km ÷ 3 h = 60 km/h
✔ Answer: 60
---
7. You do a 20 kilometer trip on your snow scooter in 40 minutes.
Convert 40 minutes to hours:
> 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hour ≈ 0.6667 hours
Speed = 20 km ÷ (2/3) h = 20 × (3/2) = 30 km/h
✔ Answer: 30

## 💡 Tip for Students:
Always remember:
>
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
And make sure
units match — if distance is in kilometers and time is in minutes, convert minutes to hours (divide by 60) before calculating!
