Atinga Journey E3Aa36
1. **Stating the problem:**
We need to draw a distance-time graph for Mr. Atinga's journey using the given scale: 2cm represents 30 minutes on the x-axis (time) and 2cm represents 4 km on the y-axis (distance).
2. **Understanding the journey:**
- He starts cycling at 13:00 GMT.
- Distance to village K is 22 km.
- Average speed cycling to village: 16 km/h.
- He rests for 15 minutes after covering 22 km.
- Then continues and reaches the village after 30 minutes.
- Spends 1 hour with parents.
- Returns home in 1 hour 30 minutes.
3. **Calculate time taken to cover 22 km:**
Using formula $\text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$,
$$t_1 = \frac{22}{16} = 1.375 \text{ hours} = 1 \text{ hour } 22.5 \text{ minutes}$$
4. **Rest time:** 15 minutes.
5. **Time after rest to reach village:** 30 minutes.
6. **Total time from start to village:**
$$1 \text{ hour } 22.5 \text{ minutes} + 15 \text{ minutes} + 30 \text{ minutes} = 2 \text{ hours } 7.5 \text{ minutes}$$
7. **Time spent with parents:** 1 hour.
8. **Return time:** 1 hour 30 minutes.
9. **Plotting points for the graph:**
- Start at (0,0) at 13:00.
- After 1 hour 22.5 minutes (82.5 minutes), distance = 22 km.
- Rest for 15 minutes, distance remains 22 km.
- After 30 minutes more, distance remains 22 km (arrived at village).
- Stay 1 hour, distance remains 22 km.
- Return trip takes 1 hour 30 minutes, distance decreases from 22 km to 0 km.
10. **Convert times to cm on x-axis:**
- 30 minutes = 2 cm, so 1 minute = $\frac{2}{30} = 0.0667$ cm.
- Total time from start to village: 127.5 minutes $\times 0.0667 = 8.5$ cm.
- Time spent with parents: 60 minutes $\times 0.0667 = 4$ cm.
- Return time: 90 minutes $\times 0.0667 = 6$ cm.
11. **Convert distances to cm on y-axis:**
- 4 km = 2 cm, so 1 km = 0.5 cm.
- Distance 22 km $\times 0.5 = 11$ cm.
12. **Summary of key points for graph:**
- (0 cm, 0 cm) at 13:00.
- (5.5 cm, 11 cm) after 82.5 minutes cycling.
- (6.5 cm, 11 cm) after 15 minutes rest.
- (8.5 cm, 11 cm) after 30 minutes cycling to village.
- (12.5 cm, 11 cm) after 1 hour stay.
- (18.5 cm, 0 cm) after 1 hour 30 minutes return.
This graph will show distance increasing, then flat during rest and stay, then decreasing on return.
**Final answer:** Use the above points and scales to draw the distance-time graph for Mr. Atinga's journey.
