Worked Example
A car travels 150 km in 2.5 hours. Calculate the average speed.
Step 1 Write the formula
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Step 2 Substitute values
Speed = 150 ÷ 2.5
Step 3 Calculate
Speed = 60 km/h

Practice Questions for Speed, Distance, Time
Which formula correctly shows the relationship between speed (S), distance (D), and time (T)?
A car travels at 30 km/h for 2 hours, then at 90 km/h for 1 hour. The mean of the two speeds is (30 + 90) ÷ 2 = 60 km/h. Explain why the average speed for the journey is NOT 60 km/h.
