Peer Ministers: This assignment will NOT count against you. If you'd like to do the work and turn it in for a score, here are the directions. Using graph paper, make a large graph to scale to represent the cars in problem #37. For this situation, use time in HOURS and distance in KM. Read from the graph (no calculations) to answer questions (a) and (b). For problem #40, recopy the graph onto your paper and use the graph to answer all questions.
