Distance and Time Problems Quiz 2
Practice the basics of distance, speed, and time with this easy quiz. Each question checks a simple formula, a quick conversion, or a short real-life calculation.
Tip: Use the relationship distance = speed × time and stay careful with units.
Q1. What is the formula for distance when speed and time are known?
Distance is found by multiplying speed by time, so ##\text{distance} = \text{speed} \times \text{time}##.
Q2. A car travels at 40 km/h for 3 hours. How far does it travel?
Use ##\text{distance} = \text{speed} \times \text{time}##, so ##40 \times 3 = 120## km.
Q3. A cyclist covers 30 km in 2 hours. What is the speed?
Speed equals distance divided by time, so ##30 \div 2 = 15## km/h.
Q4. How many minutes are in 2 hours?
##1## ##hour = 60## minutes, so ##2 \times 60 = 120## minutes.
Q5. A train travels 90 km in 3 hours. What is its speed?
Speed is ##\dfrac{90}{3} = 30## km/h.
Q6. If speed is 10 m/s and time is 5 seconds, what is the distance?
Distance is ##10 \times 5 = 50## m.
Q7. A runner covers 8 km in 1 hour. What is the speed?
##Speed = distance \div time##, so ##8 \div 1 = 8## km/h.
Q8. A bus moves at 50 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it go?
Multiply speed and time: ##50 \times 2 = 100## km.
Q9. If a person walks 6 km at 3 km/h, how long does it take?
##Time = distance \div speed##, so ##6 \div 3 = 2## hours.
Q10. What is the unit of speed?
Speed is measured as distance traveled per unit time, such as km/h or m/s.
Q11. A car travels 150 km in 5 hours. What is its speed?
##150 \div 5 = 30## km/h.
Q12. How much distance is covered at 12 km/h for 4 hours?
Use ##\text{distance} = 12 \times 4 = 48## km.
Q13. A bike travels 20 km in 40 minutes. What is the speed in km/h?
##40## minutes is ##\dfrac{2}{3}## hour, so speed is ##20 \div \dfrac{2}{3} = 30## km/h.
Q14. If a train goes 60 km in 1 hour, what is the speed?
Speed equals distance divided by time, so ##60 \div 1 = 60## km/h.
Q15. A person runs at 5 m/s for 10 seconds. What distance is covered?
##Distance = 5 \times 10 = 50## m.
Q16. How many hours are in 180 minutes?
##180 \div 60 = 3## hours.
Q17. A car covers 200 km in 4 hours. What is its speed?
##200 \div 4 = 50## km/h.
Q18. If a scooter moves at 25 km/h for 2 hours, how far does it travel?
##Distance = 25 \times 2 = 50## km.
Q19. A walker covers 9 km in 3 hours. What is the speed?
##Speed = 9 \div 3 = 3## km/h.
Q20. Which equation shows time when distance and speed are known?
Time is found by dividing distance by speed, so ##\text{time} = \dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}##.
