A student is planning a trip and needs help calculating distances and fuel consumption. The trip is from Cape Town to Beaufort West. The provided image shows a route with towns and distances. The car

Here are the solutions to the questions based on the provided image. 2.1 Mpilenhle will follow the route from Cape Town to Beaufort West. The route passes through the following towns: Cape Town Paarl Worcester Robertson McGregor Montagu Ladismith Calitzdorp Oudtshoorn Prince Albert Beaufort West. The total distance for this route is 555 km. 2.2 Step 1: Identify the starting and ending points on the strip chart. The trip is from Cape Town to Beaufort West. Step 2: Read the cumulative distance from the strip chart. The left column of the strip chart shows the cumulative distance from Cape Town. The distance corresponding to Beaufort West is 555 km. The total distance in 2.1 above is 555 km. 2.3 Step 1: Determine the car's fuel tank capacity and fuel consumption rate. Fuel tank capacity = 70 litres Fuel consumption = 10.3 litres/100 km Step 2: Calculate the maximum distance the car can travel on a full tank. Distance per litre = 100 km10.3 litres Maximum distance on full tank = 70 litres × 100 km10.3 litres Maximum distance on full tank = (7000)/(10.3) km Maximum distance on full tank ≈ 679.61 km Step 3: Compare the total trip distance with the maximum distance on a full tank. Total trip distance = 555 km (from 2.2) Since 555 km < 679.61 km, Mpilenhle can complete the entire trip on a single full tank of fuel. Step 4: Advise on the number of times to refuel. Mpilenhle will not need to refuel his car to get to his destination, assuming he starts with a full tank. Mpilenhle will need to refuel 0 times. 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
