This math topic focuses on calculating speeds based on distance traveled over a period of time. Each problem involves a car journey for which the start time, end time, and distance covered are specified. The task is to compute the car's average speed in kilometers per hour. The problems are designed to enhance skills in converting time differences into hours and then using the formula speed = distance/time to find the rate of travel. Multiple-choice answers are provided to verify understanding of calculating speeds from given distances and time intervals.
