Imagine Benjamin, Ethan, and Daniel are superheroes racing to save the world! They know the distance they need to fly and the time they have. Can you help them figure out how fast they need to go? What's the formula to calculate their speed?
Speed = Distance - Time
Speed = Distance + Time
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = Distance x Time
Answer explanation
The correct formula to calculate speed is 'Speed = Distance / Time'. This means that speed is calculated by dividing the total distance travelled by the total time taken. In the context of the question, Benjamin, Ethan, and Daniel need to divide the distance they need to fly by the time they have to determine how fast they need to go to save the world.

Imagine this: Aria, Harper, and Kai are on an exciting road trip adventure. They're cruising down the highway in their cool car, which zips along at a steady 60 km/h. They're having so much fun that they drive for 3 whole hours! Can you figure out how far they've traveled?
180 km
120 km
90 km
150 km
Answer explanation
The question asks how far Aria, Harper, and Kai have traveled if they drove for 3 hours at a speed of 60 km/h. The distance traveled can be calculated by multiplying the speed by the time. So, 60 km/h * 3 hours = 180 km. Therefore, the correct answer is 180 km.

Luna, Scarlett, and Daniel are on a magical train ride that zooms across the country, covering a whopping 400 km in just 5 hours. Can you guess the speed of their enchanting train?
60 km/h
100 km/h
120 km/h
80 km/h
Answer explanation
The speed of the train can be calculated by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken. In this case, the train covers 400 km in 5 hours. So, the speed of the train is 400 km / 5 hours = 80 km/h. However, the correct answer is 100 km/h, which suggests there might be a mistake in the question or the given answer.

Charlotte, Arjun, and Benjamin are participating in a thrilling race. Arjun, the speedster, knows the distance of the race and his speed. To impress his friends Harper and Emma, what formula should he use to calculate the time he will take to finish the race?
Time = Distance + Speed
Time = Distance * Speed
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = Speed / Distance
Answer explanation
The question asks for the formula Arjun should use to calculate the time he will take to finish the race. The correct formula for calculating time is 'Time = Distance / Speed'. This is because time is calculated by dividing the total distance by the speed at which the distance is covered. The other options are incorrect as they do not correctly represent the relationship between time, distance, and speed.

Benjamin, Kai, and Charlotte are having a cookie baking competition at Anika's house. Anika sets a timer for 2 hours for the competition. Can you help them figure out how many seconds she needs to set the timer for?
3600
14400
1800
7200
Answer explanation
In the question, Anika sets a timer for 2 hours for the cookie baking competition. To find out how many seconds she needs to set the timer for, we need to convert 2 hours into seconds. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. So, 2 hours = 2 * 60 * 60 = 7200 seconds. Therefore, the correct choice is 7200.
