Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hours and minutes when calculating travel time?
Remember that 1 hour equals 60 minutes. If you need to borrow time for subtraction, borrow 1 hour and add 60 minutes to the minutes column.
How do I use map scales in distance problems?
Check the given scale (e.g., 1 cm = 5 km). Multiply the distance measured on the map in centimetres by the scale value to find the real-world distance in kilometres.
What is the best way to solve journey word problems in the exam?
Read the problem carefully, write down what is given (start time, end time, or distance), choose the correct operation (addition or subtraction), and always write the correct units in your final answer.
