Kiley and her parents traveled to visit her grandmother. They drove 24.3 miles from their house to the airport in 1/2 hour. At the airport, they exited the car and walked for 3/4 hour to the waiting area by the gate to board their plane. Their walk covered 1.2 miles. From the waiting area, they walked another 0.1 mile to board the plane. The plane left the gate 45 minutes after they arrived at the waiting area. The plane flew 346 miles in 2 1/4 hours. After the plane landed, Kiley and her parents walked for 30 minutes, covering 1.1 miles, before they found a cab. It was a 15-minute cab ride to get to Kiley’s grandmother’s house, which was 12.3 miles away.
Answer the following questions about Kiley’s trip. All questions are written in terms of an average rate. Assume that an average rate includes the time that Kiley is at rest (that is, not moving).
Graph each leg of Kiley’s trip with the time (in hours) along the x-axis and the distance (in miles) along the y-axis. First you will answer some questions below to find the correct coordinates to use for your graph. In part H, you will create the graph using this spreadsheet.
