Worksheet Overview

The following speed-time graph shows the speeds of a cyclist on a journey lasting two hours.

Speed-time graph

Notice that:

- after 10 minutes the cyclist is riding at 30 km/h.

- the cyclist is only stationary when the speed is 0 km/h.

Example

At how many minutes was the cyclist travelling at 45 km/h?

Answer

70 minutes

If we look at the mark by 45 km/h and follow it down to the x-axis, we can see that it is 70 minutes.
