1. Problem Description
The problem presents a line graph showing the distance of taxi driver Joe from his home over a 12-hour period. We are asked to determine:
a. Joe's distance from home at 9:
0
0. b. What Joe might be doing between 9:00 and 10:
0
0. c. The number of kilometers Joe traveled from 10:00 to 11:
0
0.
2. Solution Steps
a. Distance at 9:00:
From the graph, at 9:00, the distance from home is 60 km.
b. Activity between 9:00 and 10:00:
From 9:00 to 10:00, the graph shows a horizontal line, meaning the distance from home remains constant. Therefore, Joe is not moving. He is resting or stationary.
c. Distance traveled from 10:00 to 11:00:
At 10:00, the distance from home is 60 km.
At 11:00, the distance from home is 100 km.
The distance traveled is the difference in distance from home.
Distance traveled = Distance at 11:00 - Distance at 10:00
Distance traveled =
3. Final Answer
a. 60 km
b. He might be resting.
c. 40 km
