Distance–Time Graph of Gary’s and Garion’s Journeys Between Towns P and Q

TGM Original Questions

The graph shows the journeys of Gary and Garion between Towns \(P\) and \(Q\) which are \(25\) km apart.

Using the graph,

  1. find the distance Gary was from Town \(Q\) when he stopped for a rest,
  2. find the amount of time Gary took to rest,
  3. state the time Garion overtook Gary,
  4. find the distance between the two boys at \(1050\),
  5. calculate the average speed for Garion’s whole journey.

Editorial clarification: the printed leftmost time label is inconsistent with the uniform scale marked 1100 and 1200. Use that uniform scale throughout; the leftmost origin then corresponds to 1000.
