Problem 4.3-Changing Speeds


 * 1) **Make a graph showing Sascha’s total distance traveled over time. Use time intervals on the x-axis.**
 * 1) **How far did Sascha travel in his 1 hour ride? Explain.**

He traveled 16.13 miles. I used the table to find this out.


 * 1) **If you could maintain a steady speed of 13 miles per hour on a bike, how long would it take you to travel the same distance Sascha traveled in his 1-hour ride?**

It would take 1 hour 20 min. 13 divided by 6 =2.16


 * 1) **If you were racing Sascha, what constant speed would you have to have to maintain to tie him?**

It would have to be 16 mph. That multiplied by 1 is 16 miles.


 * Follow-Up**

No, you cannot predict his speed, as he is not constant.
