Question

Bhavik left his home at 12 o’clock to cycle to Sam’s house. On the way Bhavik stopped for a rest, and then continued his journey. The distance time graph shows his journey.For how many minutes did Bhavik stop for a rest?After his rest, how many more kilometers did Bhavik cycle to Sams house?

Answer 1

i) Rest time is given by:

`rest=final\text{ time of rest}-initial\text{ time of rest}`

Where:

Final time of rest = 13:15

Initial time of rest = 12:45

Therefore:

`rest=13:15-12:45=30`

Answer i) 30 minutes

ii) The distance traveled after the rest is given by:

`distance=final\text{ distance-initial distance}`

Where:

Final distance = 39 km

Initial distance = 18 km

So:

`distance=39-18=21`

Answer ii) 21 km
