1

Read the graph

The graph shows the distance a hiker walked against the time of the walk. The hiker made one stop during the hike. At what speed did the hiker walk after the stop?

Graph. Vertical axis: distance (km). Horizontal axis: time (h), marks every half hour, whole hours labelled.0246810121416distance (km)0123time (h)
2

Read the line graph

The line graph shows the air temperature measured in a town every 3 hours during one day. By how many degrees was the highest temperature of the day higher than the lowest?

Line graph. Vertical axis: temperature (°C), broken - it starts at 0. Horizontal axis: hour.23456789100temperature (°C)036912151821hour

Read the graph

A cyclist rode to a lake, had a rest and rode back home the same way. The graph shows the cyclist's distance from home against time. At what speed did the cyclist ride back home?

Graph. Vertical axis: distance from home (km). Horizontal axis: time (h), marks every half hour, whole hours labelled.051015202530distance from home (km)012345time (h)
