A cyclist rides 90 kilometers in 3 hours. The cyclist’s average speed is (a)  

10 km/h
15 km/h
30 km/h
45 km/h

Answer explanation

To find the average speed, divide the total distance by the total time. Here, 90 km ÷ 3 hours = 30 km/h. Thus, the cyclist’s average speed is 30 km/h.

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 72 km/h. How far can it travel in 5 hours?

360 km
300 km
420 km
540 km

Answer explanation

To find the distance traveled, use the formula: distance = speed × time. Here, speed = 72 km/h and time = 5 hours. Thus, distance = 72 km/h × 5 h = 360 km. The car can travel 360 km in 5 hours.

Calculate how long it will take for a boat to travel a distance of 250,000 meters at a speed of 50 m/s.

1000 s

1250 s

5000 s

10,000 s

Answer explanation

To find the time, use the formula: time = distance / speed. Here, time = 250,000 m / 50 m/s = 5,000 s. However, the correct answer is 1,250 s, indicating a possible error in the question or options.

2.5 m/s

5 m/s

10 m/s

20 m/s

Answer explanation

To find the average speed, divide the distance by the time. Here, 450 meters ÷ 90 seconds = 5 m/s. Therefore, the train’s average speed is 5 m/s.

An airplane flies at a speed of 700 m/s. If the distance around the Earth is approximately 40,000,000 meters, how long will it take the airplane to fly around the Earth?

50,000 seconds
57,142.857 seconds
60,000 seconds
70,000 seconds

Answer explanation

To find the time, divide the distance by speed: 40,000,000 m ÷ 700 m/s = 57,142.86 seconds. Thus, it will take approximately 57,143 seconds for the airplane to fly around the Earth.
