[ ]	is in miles

If time is measured in hours, speed in km/h, distance .......

[ ]	is in centimeters
[ ]	is in meters
[x]	is in kilometers
[ ]	is in miles

If time is measured in hours, speed in mph, distance .......

[ ]	is in centimeters
[ ]	is in meters
[ ]	is in kilometers
[x]	is in miles

A dog runs at 15m/s for 30 seconds. How far does he go?

[ ]	45m
[x]	450m
[ ]	2km
[ ]	4.5km

15m/s x 30s = 450m

An athlete runs at 8m/s for 1 minute. How far do they go?

[ ]	48m
[ ]	80m
[x]	480m
[ ]	4.8km

1 minute = 60 seconds so distance = 8m/s x 60s = 480m

A car travels at 50mph for 2 hours. How far does it go?

[ ]	10 miles
[ ]	50 miles
[x]	100 miles
[ ]	100 kilometers

Distance = 50mph x 2h = 100 miles

A car travels at 40mph for 60 minutes. How far does it go?

[ ]	40 kilometers
[x]	40 miles
[ ]	60 miles
[ ]	240 miles

60 minutes = 1hour so distance = 40mph x 1h = 40 miles

A cyclist has a speed of 10km/h. She cycles for 2 hours - how far does she go?

[ ]	5 kilometers
[ ]	12 kilometers
[x]	20 kilometers
[ ]	25 kilometers

Distance = 10km/h x 2h = 20 kilometers

A cyclist has a speed of 10km/h. She cycles for 120 minutes - how far does she go?

[ ]	10 kilometers
[ ]	12 kilometers
[x]	20 kilometers
[ ]	1,200 kilometers

120 minutes = 2 hours so distance = 10km/h x 2h = 20km

10.

A peregrine falcon can fly at 90km/h. How far could it fly in 20 minutes?

[ ]	4.5 kilometers
[ ]	18 kilometers
[x]	30 kilometers
[ ]	1,800 kilometers

20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hour so distance = 1/3h x 90km/h = 30km
