Let's solve each problem step by step, using the formula for average speed:

> Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time

We’ll go through each section (A, B, C) and solve every question.

---

Section A



#### 1) A car travels at 60 km per hour for 3 hours. How far does it travel?

Use:
Distance = Speed × Time
= 60 km/h × 3 h = 180 km

Answer: 180 km

---

#### 2) Travelling at 80 mph, how long does it take a train to travel 400 miles?

Use:
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
= 400 miles ÷ 80 mph = 5 hours

Answer: 5 hours

---

#### 3) A car travels 280 km in 4 hours. Write down the average speed.

Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time
= 280 km ÷ 4 h = 70 km/h

Answer: 70 km/h

---

#### 4) A cyclist completes 175 miles in 7 hours.

Average Speed = 175 miles ÷ 7 h = 25 mph

Answer: 25 mph

---

#### 5) A runner covers 7 km in 30 minutes.

First, convert time to hours:
30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Average Speed = 7 km ÷ 0.5 h = 14 km/h

Answer: 14 km/h

---

Section B



#### 1) A car travels 155 km in 2 hours 30 minutes.

Convert time:
2 hours 30 minutes = 2.5 hours

Average Speed = 155 km ÷ 2.5 h = 62 km/h

Answer: 62 km/h

---

#### 2) A train travels 85 km in 25 minutes.

Convert time to hours:
25 minutes = 25/60 = 5/12 ≈ 0.4167 hours

Average Speed = 85 km ÷ (25/60) h = 85 ÷ (5/12) = 85 × (12/5) = 204 km/h

Answer: 204 km/h

---

#### 3) A plane has a flight time of 4h:35m. If the plane had an average speed of 450 km/h, how far did it travel?

Convert time:
4h 35m = 4 + 35/60 = 4 + 0.5833 = 4.5833 hours

Distance = Speed × Time
= 450 km/h × 4.5833 h ≈ 2062.5 km

Answer: 2062.5 km

---

#### 4) Leaving at 2:38 pm, a train travels 244 km at 80 km/h. When does it arrive?

Time = Distance ÷ Speed
= 244 km ÷ 80 km/h = 3.05 hours

Convert 0.05 hours to minutes:
0.05 × 60 = 3 minutes → So total time = 3 hours 3 minutes

Add to departure time:
2:38 pm + 3 hours = 5:38 pm
5:38 pm + 3 minutes = 5:41 pm

Answer: 5:41 pm

---

Section C



#### 1) A runner travels 180 metres in 20 seconds. Find their average speed in km/h.

Step 1: Convert distance to km
180 m = 0.18 km

Step 2: Convert time to hours
20 seconds = 20/3600 = 1/180 hours ≈ 0.005556 h

Speed = 0.18 km ÷ (1/180) h = 0.18 × 180 = 32.4 km/h

Answer: 32.4 km/h

---

#### 2) A car travels from A to C through B.

- A to B: 39 km at 65 km/h
- B to C: completed at 55 km/h in 72 minutes

Find average speed for entire journey A to C.

We need:
- Total distance
- Total time

---

Part A to B:
- Distance = 39 km
- Speed = 65 km/h
- Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 39 ÷ 65 = 0.6 hours = 36 minutes

---

Part B to C:
- Time = 72 minutes = 72/60 = 1.2 hours
- Speed = 55 km/h
- Distance = Speed × Time = 55 × 1.2 = 66 km

---

Total Journey:
- Total distance = 39 km + 66 km = 105 km
- Total time = 0.6 h + 1.2 h = 1.8 hours

Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time
= 105 km ÷ 1.8 h = 58.33... km/h ≈ 58.3 km/h

Answer: 58.3 km/h (or exactly 175/3 km/h)

---
