Revision of Second term’ / Re-presentation of real situation an graph and the reason(s).

Back to: MATHEMATICS JSS 2

 

Welcome to Class !!

We are eager to have you join us !!

In today’s Mathematics class, We will be revising some second term topics such as distance-time Graph and Velocity-Time Graphs. We will also be looking at the Representation of real-life Situations on a Graph. We hope you enjoy the class!

Choosing scales.

 

 

Distance – Time Graph

Graphs are used to show the relationship between two quantities. A continuous graph is in the form of a continuous line and shows the relationship between the two quantities.

A distance-time graph shows the distance travelled against the time taken and is used to calculate speeds.

A distance-time graph is also called a Travel graph. In travel graph, the time is usually plotted x-axis and the distance on y-axis.

 

Example

The graph below shows a man’s journey from home to another town. Use the graph to find:

• The time taken to travel 75km
• The distance travelled in 3 hours
• The time taken to cover a distance of 175km
• The man’s speed in km/h

 

 

 

 

Solution with explanation

The horizontal (or x-axis) shows the time in hours.

2 units on the x-axis = 1 hour

So 1 unit =  hr or 30 mins

The vertical axis (or y-axis) shows the distance in km.

2 units on the y-axis = 50km,

We can use a travel graph to find a distance and time at any point on the graph.

 

For example:

• The time taken to travel 75km is 1 h 30 mins (see the arrow)
• The distance travelled in 3 hours is 150km (see the arrow)
• It took the man 3 hours 30 mins to cover a distance of 175 km.
• In 3 hrs the man travelled 175km

 = 50km/hr

 

EVALUATION

1. A girl walks along a road at a speed of 100m per minute
2. Copy and complete the table

Time(s)	0	1	2	3	4	5	6
Distance(m)	0	100	200

 

1. Using a scale of 2cm to 1min on the horizontal axis and 2cm to 100m on the vertical axis draw the graph of the information
2. Use the graph to find
3. How far the girl has walked after 4.6mins
4. How long it takes her to walk 380m

GRAPH OF REAL-LIFE SITUATION

Choosing Scale.

In choosing a scale, choose a big scale while drawing graphs. Refer to the given data to find the upper and lower limit of the scale. Always show the origin if possible on 2cm graph paper use scale of 2cm to 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100

 

 

GENERAL EVALUATION:

• The labour charges preparing a television set consists of a standing charge of N500 on all bills and an hourly rate of N200 per hour.
  1. 1. Make a table showing the total labour charges for jobs which take ¹/₂h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h,
     2. Choose a suitable scale and draw a graph of the information
     3. Find the total labour charge for a job which takes
        1. • i. 2¹/₂hrs
           • ii. 24min

Time(hr)	1/2	1	2	3	4
Standing	600	700	900	1100	1300
