How to know the time Rita spent in each activity/movement?

The time can be determined by using the graph. In the graph, the time is represented by small squares. Each of this squares will be equivalent to 15 minutes.

You can infer this because Rita first drove for 30 minutes and in the graph the line goes from 0 in the x axis to two squares to the right (30/2 = 15 minutes.)

How much time did Rita spent?

  • First movement: 30 minutes
  • Break: 30 minutes (2 more squares)
  • Drive to the hospital:  60 minutes
  • Time at the hospital: 30 minutes
  • Drive back home: 75 minutes(Total distance 40 miles/ 32 miles per hour = 1.25 hours)
