Sample Speed questions

A few of the 64 questions, from easier to harder. Choose your exam board and tier to practise them, with every answer marked.

Question 12 marksGrade 3-4
A car travels 306 km at an average speed of 51 km/h. Work out how long the journey takes, in hours.
Show the worked solution
Time = distance ÷ speed M1
Time = 306 ÷ 51 = 6 hours A1
Question 22 marksGrade 3-4
A cyclist rides 77 km in 7 hours. Work out the average speed, in km/h.
Show the worked solution
Speed = distance ÷ time M1
Speed = 77 ÷ 7 = 11 km/h A1
Question 33 marksGrade 5
A bee flies from its hive to a flower at a constant speed of 7.5 metres per second for 10 seconds. The bee then takes 15 seconds to fly back to the hive along the same straight-line path. Ignoring the time spent at the flower, work out the overall average speed of the bee for the whole flight from the hive to the flower and back.

What are the common mistakes in Speed?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

Applies the wrong inverse operation when isolating the unknown (e.g. subtracts instead of adding, or vice versa)
Used time = distance × speed instead of distance ÷ speed
Wrong conversion factor applied (e.g. cm-m, g-kg)
Multiplied speed by the time in minutes without converting to hours first
Forgot to add remainder journey time
Calculated the time for the first two stages of the journey (1 hour + 2 hours 24 minutes) but forgot to add the given 30 minutes for the remainder of the journey.
