Class 8 Average Speed Case Study with Answers

The Class 8 Average Speed Case Study with Answers helps students understand how to calculate average speed in real-life travel situations. Moreover, the case studies include clear explanations that simplify each step. This makes learning both engaging and effective for Class 8 learners.

Why These Case Studies Matter

These worksheets build strong conceptual understanding and improve accuracy in calculations. Furthermore, they teach students how to apply formulas correctly. As a result, learners develop confidence and analytical skills needed for exams.

How Students Should Practice

Students should read the problem carefully, identify distances, and calculate time properly. Additionally, using the formula consistently helps strengthen overall Speed–Distance–Time understanding.

Case Study 4: Work and Speed, Distance, Time (Variable Rates)

A community garden project received a contract to prepare **720 plant kits** for distribution to local schools. The project manager, Deepak, assigns three teams: **Team A**, **Team B** and **Team C**. From previous records, **Team A can prepare 40 kits per hour**, **Team B can prepare 30 kits per hour** and **Team C can prepare 20 kits per hour**.

They all start at 7:00 a.m. After some time Team B needs to leave for a delivery run, and the remaining teams continue. During the delivery, Deepak drives a small van to deliver a batch of prepared kits to a town **150 km** away. Due to roadworks, he covers the first **50 km at a reduced speed**, then returns to normal speed for the remaining distance. The case requires calculation of combined and partial work, time taken after one team leaves, adjustments when a team’s efficiency changes, and the split of travel time for two different speeds. Use the data strictly as given to answer the MCQs below.

MCQ Questions

  1. 1. What is the combined preparation rate of Team A, Team B and Team C in kits per hour?

  2. 2. If all three teams worked together for 3 hours, how many kits would they complete?

  3. 3. After 3 hours Team B leaves. If Team A and Team C continue, how many additional hours will they need to finish the remaining kits?

  4. 4. Suppose Team B returned later and worked alone for 2 hours to cover part of the remaining work after it left. If Team A and Team C paused during those 2 hours, how many kits would Team B complete in that time?

  5. 5. Deepak drove 150 km in two parts: first 50 km at 30 km per hour due to roadworks and the remaining at 75 km per hour. What is the total travel time?
