3.2.1

  1. Calculate Jonathan's Body Mass Index (BMI).

    The formula for BMI is given as BMI=Weight(Length in m)2\text{BMI} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{(\text{Length in m})^2}.
    Given: Weight = 82 kg, Length = 1.79 m.

    BMI=82(1.79)2\text{BMI} = \frac{82}{(1.79)^2} BMI=823.2041\text{BMI} = \frac{82}{3.2041} BMI≈25.59\text{BMI} \approx 25.59
  2. Determine Jonathan's weight status.

    Based on standard BMI classifications:

    • Underweight: < 18.5
    • Normal weight: 18.5 – 24.9
    • Overweight: 25 – 29.9
    • Obese: 30 or greater Jonathan's BMI of 25.59 indicates that he is in the overweight category. Jonathan's weight status is Overweight\boxed{\text{Overweight}}.

    3.2.2
    To prepare for the Two Oceans Marathon, Jonathan should aim to reduce his weight to a healthy range through a combination of a balanced diet and a consistent exercise regimen, gradually increasing his fitness level.

  3. Calculate the total distance for a round trip.

    Distance from Bloemfontein to Cape Town = 1005.6 km.
    For a round trip, the total distance is:

    Total distance=2×1005.6 km=2011.2 km\text{Total distance} = 2 \times 1005.6 \text{ km} = 2011.2 \text{ km}
  4. Calculate the total fuel needed for the round trip.

    Fuel consumption = 8.2 litres per 100 km.

    Fuel needed=2011.2 km100 km×8.2 litres\text{Fuel needed} = \frac{2011.2 \text{ km}}{100 \text{ km}} \times 8.2 \text{ litres} Fuel needed=20.112×8.2 litres\text{Fuel needed} = 20.112 \times 8.2 \text{ litres} Fuel needed≈164.9184 litres\text{Fuel needed} \approx 164.9184 \text{ litres}
  5. Calculate the total cost of petrol for the round trip.

    Cost of petrol = R19.54 per litre.

    Total cost=164.9184 litres×R19.54/litre\text{Total cost} = 164.9184 \text{ litres} \times \text{R}19.54/\text{litre} Total cost≈R3222.00\text{Total cost} \approx \text{R}3222.00
  6. Compare the total cost with Jonathan's statement.

    Jonathan states that it will cost less than R3 200.00.
    Since R3222.00 is not less than R3200.00, Jonathan's statement is incorrect\boxed{\text{incorrect}}.

  7. Calculate the driving time from Bloemfontein to Cape Town.

    Given: Distance = 1005.6 km, Average speed = 95 km/h.
    Using the formula Time=DistanceSpeed\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}:

    Driving time=1005.6 km95 km/h≈10.58526 hours\text{Driving time} = \frac{1005.6 \text{ km}}{95 \text{ km/h}} \approx 10.58526 \text{ hours}
  8. Convert the driving time to hours and minutes.

    10.58526 hours=10 hours+(0.58526×60) minutes10.58526 \text{ hours} = 10 \text{ hours} + (0.58526 \times 60) \text{ minutes} 10 hours+35.1156 minutes≈10 hours and 35 minutes10 \text{ hours} + 35.1156 \text{ minutes} \approx 10 \text{ hours and } 35 \text{ minutes}
  9. Calculate the total time spent on stops.

    • Colesburg: 1 hour
    • Beaufort West: 25 minutes
    • Laingsburg: 25 minutes
    Total stop time=1 hour+25 minutes+25 minutes=1 hour and 50 minutes\text{Total stop time} = 1 \text{ hour} + 25 \text{ minutes} + 25 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour and } 50 \text{ minutes}
  10. Calculate the total travel duration.

    Total travel duration=Driving time+Total stop time\text{Total travel duration} = \text{Driving time} + \text{Total stop time} Total travel duration=(10 hours 35 minutes)+(1 hour 50 minutes)\text{Total travel duration} = (10 \text{ hours } 35 \text{ minutes}) + (1 \text{ hour } 50 \text{ minutes}) Total travel duration=11 hours 85 minutes\text{Total travel duration} = 11 \text{ hours } 85 \text{ minutes}

    Since 85 minutes is 1 hour and 25 minutes:

    Total travel duration=11 hours+1 hour 25 minutes=12 hours and 25 minutes\text{Total travel duration} = 11 \text{ hours} + 1 \text{ hour } 25 \text{ minutes} = 12 \text{ hours and } 25 \text{ minutes}
  11. Calculate the arrival time in Cape Town.

    Departure time = 05:00.

    Arrival time=05:00+12 hours 25 minutes=17:25\text{Arrival time} = 05:00 + 12 \text{ hours } 25 \text{ minutes} = 17:25

    Jonathan will arrive in Cape Town at 17:25\boxed{\text{17:25}}.
