Question

The graph shows the distance Julian drives on a trip. What is Julian's speed?

Answer 1

B

speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

From the graph the distance travelled = 480 Km

and time taken = 6 hours

speed =
`(480)/(6)` = 80 Km / hour

Answer 2

B. 80 km/h

Explanation:

The graph is linear and goes through the origin, so distance is proportional to time, and the constant of proportionality is speed. The desired answer can be read from the point on the graph at time = 1 hour: 80 km.

Julian's speed is 80 kilometers per hour.
