- What is the scale taken for the time axis?
- How much time did the person take for the travel?
- How far is the place of the merchant from the town?
- Did the person stop on his way? Explain.
- During which period did he ride fastest?

Solution
- Scale taken for the time axis is 4 units = 1 hour
- Time taken by a person for the travel = `(1+1+1+1/2) "hours" = 3 1/2` hours.
- The merchant is 22 km from the town.
- Yes, the person stopped on his way from 10 a.m. to 10: 30 a.m. This is indicated by the horizontal part of the graph.
- From the graph, it canfromserved that during 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., the person travelled the maximum distance. Thus, the person’s ride was the fastest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.

As part of his science project, Prithvi was supposed to record the temperature every hour one Saturday from 6 am to midnight. At noon, he was taking lunch and forgot to record the temperature. At 8:00 pm, his favourite show came on and so forgot again. He recorded the data so collected on a graph sheet as shown below.
- Why does it make sense to connect the points in this situation?
- Describe the overall trend, or pattern, in the way the temperature changes over the time period shown on the graph.
- Estimate the temperature at noon and 8 pm.
