Question 4

Describe in Detail Essay▾

Rebeca rode to her friend՚s house. She waited for her friend to get ready. Then they cycled together to school. Rebeca՚s journey is shown on the grid.

(a) Work out the speed at which Rebeca cycled to her friend՚s house.

(b) How long did she wait for her friend?

(c) Rebeca՚s brother left home at 7: 30 am. He cycled directly to school at a constant speed of 10 kilometers per hour. Find the time at which he reached at school.

(d) How many minutes earlier than Rebeca did his brother arrive at school?

Edit

Here,

(a) For speed of Rebeca:

As shown in chart, time is from 7 to 8: 10 to reach at her friend՚s house =

Distance = 6 km.

So, speed = .

(b) She waits for her friend:

As shown in chart, they go to the school at 8: 50 and she reach at her friend՚s house at 8: 10.

That means she waits tor minutes.

(c) Rebeca՚s brother left home at 7: 30 am. He cycled at speed 10
