U5 – L2 Calculate Speed s = d/t

PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS

1. What is the average speed of a truck
that traveled 160 kilometers in four
hours? / s = 160km/4hr
s = 40km/hr
2. A cheetah ran 75 meters in 30
seconds. What was his average speed? / s = 75m/30sec
s = 2.5m/sec
3. A biker rode his bike for 5 hours and
went 200 miles. What was his average
speed? / s = 200mi/5hr
s = 40mi/hr
4. You ride a bus a distance of 2,400 meters for three hours. What is your average speed? / s = 2400m/3hr
s = 800m/hr
5. What is your average speed if you
travel 2,100 meters in three hours? / S = 2100m/3hr
S = 700m/hr
6. What is the average speed of a car that
traveled 200 kilometers in four hours? / S = 200km/4hr
S = 50km/h
7. A swimmer swam 266 meters in
70 seconds. What was her average speed? / s = 266m/70s
s = 3.8m/s
8. What was the average speed for a student that walked 10 miles in two and a half hours? / S = 10mi/2.5hr
S = 4mi/hr
