Travel

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a series of multiplication word problems centered on the theme of travel. It includes a variety of scenarios such as calculating the distance a plane can fly at a certain speed over a set number of hours, determining the total distance a family drives on a road trip, and figuring out the total number of rooms on a cruise ship based on the number of decks and rooms per deck. Other problems involve calculating the total weight a traveler can carry given the weight limit per suitcase and the cost to fill a gas tank based on the price per gallon and the tank’s capacity.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to apply multiplication to solve practical problems related to travel. By working through these problems, students can improve their ability to translate real-life situations into mathematical equations, practice their multiplication skills, and understand the relevance of math in everyday contexts such as planning trips, budgeting for vacations, and preparing for travel. The travel theme is intended to make the exercises more engaging and to help students relate the math they are learning to situations they might encounter or be familiar with outside of the classroom.
