Card 1Speed Calculation

A car travels 180 km in 3 hours. What is its speed in km/h?

Answer

Step 1: Use the formula — Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Step 2: Distance = 180 km, Time = 3 h. Step 3: Speed = 180 ÷ 3 = 60 km/h. Answer: 60 km/h.

Card 2Speed Calculation

A boy runs 300 m in 60 seconds. Find his speed in m/s.

Answer

Step 1: Use formula — Speed = Distance ÷ Time. Step 2: Distance = 300 m, Time = 60 s. Step 3: Speed = 300 ÷ 60 = 5 m/s. Answer: 5 m/s.

Card 3Speed and Distance

A train covers 240 km in 4 hours. What is its speed in km/h? How far will it go in 2.5 hours?

Answer

Part 1: Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 km/h. Part 2: Distance = Speed × Time = 60 × 2.5 = 150 km. Answer: Speed = 60 km/h, Distance = 150 km.

Card 4Time Calculation

A cyclist rides at 15 km/h. How long will it take to cover 45 km?

Answer

Step 1: Use formula — Time = Distance ÷ Speed. Step 2: Distance = 45 km, Speed = 15 km/h. Step 3: Time = 45 ÷ 15 = 3 hours. Answer: 3 hours.

Card 5Distance Calculation

A bus travels at 40 km/h. How far does it go in 1 hour 30 minutes?

Answer

Step 1: Convert time to hours — 1 hour 30 min = 1.5 hours. Step 2: Use formula — Distance = Speed × Time. Step 3: Distance = 40 × 1.5 = 60 km. Answer: 60 km.

Card 6Unit Conversion

Convert 72 km/h into m/s.

Answer

Step 1: Multiply by 5/18 to convert km/h to m/s. Step 2: 72 × (5/18) = 4 × 5 = 20 m/s. Answer: 20 m/s.

Card 7Unit Conversion

Convert 10 m/s into km/h.

Answer

Step 1: Multiply by 18/5 to convert m/s to km/h. Step 2: 10 × (18/5) = 2 × 18 = 36 km/h. Answer: 36 km/h.

Card 8Speed in km/h

A boy walks 2.4 km in 40 minutes. Find his speed in km/h.

Answer

Step 1: Convert time to hours — 40 min = 40/60 = 2/3 h. Step 2: Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 2.4 ÷ (2/3) = 2.4 × (3/2) = 3.6 km/h. Answer: 3.6 km/h.
