2.2.1: A. Step 1: Locate Bergville and Ladysmith in the distance table. The distance between Bergville and Ladysmith is found by looking at the intersection of the Bergville row/column and the Ladysmith row/column. Distance = 96 km Distance between Bergville and Ladysmith: 96 km B. Step 1: Locate Cape Town and Bloemfontein in the distance table. The distance between Cape Town and Bloemfontein is found by looking at the intersection of the Cape Town row/column and the Bloemfontein row/column. Distance = 1052 km Distance between Cape Town and Bloemfontein: 1052 km 2.2.2: Step 1: Identify the legs of the journey and their distances from the table. • Durban to Johannesburg: 598 km • Johannesburg to Bloemfontein: 417 km • Bloemfontein to Durban: 607 km Step 2: Calculate the total distance traveled. Total distance = Distance (Durban to Johannesburg) + Distance (Johannesburg to Bloemfontein) + Distance (Bloemfontein to Durban) Total distance = 598 km + 417 km + 607 km Total distance = 1622 km Total distance traveled by the Zikalala family: 1622 km 2.2.3: Step 1: Identify the distance and average speed for the journey from Bloemfontein to Durban. • Distance (Bloemfontein to Durban) = 607 km (from 2.2.2) • Average speed = 100 km/h Step 2: Calculate the time taken using the formula Time = DistanceSpeed. Time = 607 km100 km/h Time = 6.07 hours Time taken to get back to Durban: 6.07 hours 2.2.4: Two reasons why the actual time arrived at in 2.2.3 can differ from the calculated time, even if the average driving speed is 100 km/h, are: • Stops for rest, fuel, or food: Drivers often make stops during long journeys, which add to the total travel time but are not included in the pure driving time calculation. • Traffic congestion or road construction: Unexpected delays due to heavy traffic, accidents, or roadworks can significantly extend the duration of the trip beyond the estimated driving time. 3 done, 2 left today.
