Question

Paul is a keen cyclist. the chart shows the distance he cycled each day of last week. a)How much further did Paul cycle on Friday than on Monday? b)what is the total distance cycled by Paul on the three days he cycled the most?

Answer 1

a) 6 km

b) 66 km

Explanation:

a) According to the graph:

• Paul cycled about 22 km on Friday.
• Paul cycled about 16 km on Monday.

To find how much further, subtract the distance cycled those two days:

22 - 16 = 6 km

b) The three days he cycled the most are the three days with the highest lines on the graph, so that would be:

1. Saturday, about 24 km.
2. Friday, about 22 km.
3. Wednesday, about 20 km.

Add them all up to find the total distance cycled:

24 + 22 + 20 = 66 km
