Question 7
John draws a graph to show the amount of petrol his car used on a 250 mile journey.
| Distance travelled (miles) | Petrol (litres) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 45 |
| 50 | 38 |
| 100 | 31 |
| 150 | 24 |
| 200 | 17 |
| 250 | 10 |
A line graph showing the relationship between distance travelled (miles) on the x-axis and petrol (litres) on the y-axis. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 250 with major grid lines every 50 units and minor grid lines every 10 units. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 50 with major grid lines every 10 units and minor grid lines every 2 units. A straight line starts at (0, 45) and ends at (250, 10).
a.[1]
How much petrol was in John's car at the start of his journey?
b.[1]
How many more miles can John's car travel before it runs out of petrol?
c.[1]
What assumption have you made to calculate your answer to (b)?
