Part 1.3· 2 steps

  1. Determine the actual distance from Keetmanshoop to Windhoek using the distances provided on the map.

    The route from Keetmanshoop to Windhoek passes through Mariental and Rehoboth.

    Distance (Keetmanshoop to Mariental)=221 km\text{Distance (Keetmanshoop to Mariental)} = 221 \text{ km} Distance (Mariental to Rehoboth)=83 km\text{Distance (Mariental to Rehoboth)} = 83 \text{ km} Distance (Rehoboth to Windhoek)=87 km\text{Distance (Rehoboth to Windhoek)} = 87 \text{ km} Total actual distance=221 km+83 km+87 km=391 km\text{Total actual distance} = 221 \text{ km} + 83 \text{ km} + 87 \text{ km} = 391 \text{ km}
  2. Explain how to calculate the number scale.

    To calculate the number scale, you would need to physically measure the distance between Keetmanshoop and Windhoek on the map using a ruler. Let's say this measured distance is XX cm.
    The scale would then be calculated as:

    Scale=Measured distance on map (in cm)Actual distance (in cm)\text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Measured distance on map (in cm)}}{\text{Actual distance (in cm)}}

    Since 1 km=100,000 cm1 \text{ km} = 100,000 \text{ cm}, the actual distance in cm is 391×100,000 cm=39,100,000 cm391 \times 100,000 \text{ cm} = 39,100,000 \text{ cm}.
    If, for example, the measured distance on the map was 10 cm10 \text{ cm}, the scale would be 10 cm39,100,000 cm=13,910,000\frac{10 \text{ cm}}{39,100,000 \text{ cm}} = \frac{1}{3,910,000}.
    As an AI, I cannot perform the physical measurement on the image, so I cannot provide a numerical value for the map scale.

    The actual distance from Keetmanshoop to Windhoek is:

    391 km\boxed{\text{391 km}}

Part 1.4

390 km\text{390 km}

  1. Determine the actual distance from Gobabis to Grootfontein by summing the distances on the map.

    The route from Gobabis to Grootfontein passes through Otjiwarongo.

    Distance (Gobabis to Otjiwarongo)=233 km\text{Distance (Gobabis to Otjiwarongo)} = 233 \text{ km} Distance (Otjiwarongo to Grootfontein)=157 km\text{Distance (Otjiwarongo to Grootfontein)} = 157 \text{ km} Total actual distance=233 km+157 km=390 km\text{Total actual distance} = 233 \text{ km} + 157 \text{ km} = 390 \text{ km}

    The actual distance from Gobabis to Grootfontein is:

    390 km\boxed{\text{390 km}}

Part 1.5

Incorrect\text{Incorrect}

  1. Calculate the travel time using the distance from 1.4 and the given speed.

    Distance=390 km\text{Distance} = 390 \text{ km} Speed=90 km/hour\text{Speed} = 90 \text{ km/hour} Time=DistanceSpeed=390 km90 km/hour=399 hours=133 hours\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{390 \text{ km}}{90 \text{ km/hour}} = \frac{39}{9} \text{ hours} = \frac{13}{3} \text{ hours}
  2. Convert the travel time into hours and minutes.

    Time=413 hours\text{Time} = 4 \frac{1}{3} \text{ hours}

    To convert 13\frac{1}{3} of an hour to minutes:

    13×60 minutes=20 minutes\frac{1}{3} \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 20 \text{ minutes}

    So, the travel time is 4 hours and 20 minutes.

  3. Calculate the arrival time by adding the travel time to the departure time.

    Departure time: 7:45
    Travel time: 4 hours 20 minutes

    Arrival time=7:45+4 hours 20 minutes=11:65\text{Arrival time} = 7:45 + 4 \text{ hours } 20 \text{ minutes} = 11:65

    Since 65 minutes is 1 hour and 5 minutes, the arrival time is 12:05.

  4. Compare the calculated arrival time with Amukele's stated arrival time.

    Calculated arrival time: 12:05
    Stated arrival time: 12:00
    Amukele's timing is incorrect because he would arrive 5 minutes later than he stated.

Part 1.6

R513.24\text{R513.24}

  1. Calculate the total petrol needed for the journey.

    Distance=390 km\text{Distance} = 390 \text{ km} Petrol consumption=8 litres per 100 km\text{Petrol consumption} = 8 \text{ litres per } 100 \text{ km} Litres needed=390 km100 km×8 litres=3.9×8 litres=31.2 litres\text{Litres needed} = \frac{390 \text{ km}}{100 \text{ km}} \times 8 \text{ litres} = 3.9 \times 8 \text{ litres} = 31.2 \text{ litres}
  2. Calculate the total cost of the petrol.

    Cost per litre=R16.45\text{Cost per litre} = \text{R}16.45 Total cost=31.2 litres×R16.45/litre=R513.24\text{Total cost} = 31.2 \text{ litres} \times \text{R}16.45/\text{litre} = \text{R}513.24

    The cost of petrol to travel from Gobabis to Grootfontein is:

    R513.24\boxed{\text{R513.24}}
