MYP 2: Distance and cost

Task description: Criterion A

Distance and cost


ACTIVITY IN DESMOS

Mario has just purchased a 2.0 Chevrolet Camaro and decided to take a trip from the city where he
currently lives, Boise to his hometown, Cheyenne. To budget for the trip, he decides to calculate the
amount of fuel needed taking into account the distance between the two cities and the Camaro's fuel
economy of 4.3 gallons of fuel per 100 miles traveled.

1a. Identify the missing values and complete the table

Fuel (gallons) Distance travelled (miles)

4,3 100

50

8,6

1b. Find the distance the car can travel on one gallon of fuel.

1c. Calculate the number of gallons of fuel you need to make the 150-mile journey.

Mario is planning to take a car trip from Boise to Cheyenne. Refer to the scale provided and the
distance, measured in centimetres on the map.

1d. Calculate the approximate distance between the two cities, give your answer in miles.

MYP 2: Distance and cost

1e. Calculate the approximate number of gallons of fuel you need to make the return / round trip.

1f. The cost of fuel is $1.87 per gallon. Calculate the approximate cost of fuel required for the return
/ round trip.

At the end of the trip Mario determines that the total cost of fuel was $118.30.

1g. Calculate the actual distance between Bosie and Cheyenne.

When making measurements there is always an error derived from the way it is done or the
instruments used. In mathematics, the percentage of error is calculated using the formula

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 − 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴


%𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 = � � × 100
𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴

1h. Calculate the percentage error of the approximate distance and the actual distance.

1i. Comment on the percentage error.
