Time 2 (Medium)

This 11 Plus Maths quiz explores time and speed through real-life journeys like cycling, helping pupils practise reasoning with averages, rest times, and distance calculations.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

A cyclist covers 150 kilometres over 5 hours, including 45 minutes of rest. Their moving speed is 34.6 kilometres per hour.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn to calculate with time, distance, and speed, including converting hours and minutes. Understanding these relationships is essential for problem solving in real situations.

Key Terms

Moving Time: The period spent actively travelling, excluding breaks or rest stops.
Speed Formula: A rule that connects distance, time, and speed: Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
Conversion: Changing one unit into another, such as minutes into hours or kilometres into miles.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you find a cyclist’s average speed?

Divide the total distance by the total time, including rests. If a cyclist travels 150 km in 5 hours, the average speed is 30 km/h.

What is the difference between average speed and moving speed?

Average speed includes all time spent, even resting, while moving speed only counts the time spent actually travelling.

How do you convert minutes into hours for time questions?

Divide the number of minutes by 60. For example, 45 minutes is 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours.

The Battle of Hastings took place in 1066. Which century was it in?

The 11th century

The 10th century

The 9th century

The 12th century

Add '1' to hundreds place position and you'll get the correct century: the 11th century. Similarly, the 1900s were in the 20th century, and we are now in the 21st century. If you count the centuries from the birth of Christ (AD or CE (Common Era)), you'll see why the century is always 1 more than the number of hundreds

How many months are there in a century?

12,000

1,200

120

There are 12 months in a year and 100 years in a century, so we work this one out by multiplying 12 by 100: 12 x 100 = 1,200

3 .

Which of the following will not be a 'leap year'?

2092

2096

2100

2104

Leap years usually occur if the year is divisible by 4. However, in the case of centuries (1800, 1900, 2000, 2100 etc) the year must also be divisible by 400

4 .

BC refers to dates before the birth of Christ. An alternative is BCE. What does BCE stand for?

Before Calculating Events

Before Christian Effect

Before Christmas Event

Before the Common Era

AD (Anno Domini – the Year of Our Lord) refers to dates after the birth of Christ and CE (Common Era) is an alternative. The changes were made because billions of people use the calendar, but less than a third of them are Christians

5 .

How many decades are there in a millennium?

100

1,000

10,000

A decade is ten years and a millennium is 1,000 years so to work this one out we divide 1,000 by 10: 1,000 ÷ 10 = 100

6 .

If today is August 25th, how many days is it until Christmas?

120

121

122

123

There are 4 months between August 25th ad December 25th (Christmas Day). Two of them (August and October) have 31 days and two (September and November) have 30 days: 31 + 31 + 30 + 30 = 122

Julius Caesar died aged 55 in 44 BCE, but before his birthday that year. What year was he born?

100 BCE

99 BCE

98 BCE

97 BCE

44 + 55 = 99 BCE. However, Julius died before his birthday that year. If he had lived, he would have been 56 after his birthday. 56 + 44 = 100 BCE

8 .

Queen Victoria’s rule began in 1837 and lasted for 64 years before her death. In which century did she die?

The 17th century

The 18th century

The 19th century

The 20th century

1837 + 64 = 1901. Remember: to find the century add 1 to the hundreds. 19 + 1 = 20.
Also remember, the century begins in years ending 01, not 00 so the 20th century began on January 1st, 1901

9 .

How many leap years are there in a 'century'?

Either 24 or 25

It is impossible to say

There are 100 years in a century, and a leap-year every 4 years so you would expect there to be 25 leap years in a century. But, years ending with 00 must be divisible by 400 as well as by 4. So, some centuries have 24 leap years, and some have 25

Lucy’s baby is 35 days old. If today is October 22nd, what day was the baby born?

September 16th

September 17th

September 18th

September 19th

22 – 35 = -13. To find the baby’s birthday we must remove 13 days from September. September has 30 days so 30 – 13 = 17. The baby was born on September 17th
