Worked practice questions
A bus covers 360 km in 6 hours at a uniform pace. What is its speed?
- 72 km/h
- 60 km/h
- 50 km/h
- 65 km/h
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 60 km/h
Speed is distance over time, 360 divided by 6 gives 60 km/h.
How long does a train take to cover 240 km at 40 km/h?
- 6 hours
- 8 hours
- 4 hours
- 5 hours
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 6 hours
Time equals distance over speed, so 240 divided by 40 is 6 hours.
