2.3+Day+3+Lewes+to+Chincoteague

Investigation 2.3: Lewes to Chincoteague island A.Would it make sense to connect the points on this graph? Explain. answer: Yes, it would make sense because it's a change throughout time. The lines connecting dots makes these changes easy-to-see. Also it makes you get an easier estimate on data between time. B. Make a table of (time, distance) data from the information in the graph. answer: Table of day 3 progress (distance from Lewes)

C. What do you think happened between hours 2 and 4? between hours 1.5 and 2? answer: Between hours 2 and 4 I think they took a road that goes back, then forward. (example below) Between hours 1.5 and 2, I think they took a road that was circling Lewes. (example below) Example: D. Which method of displaying the (time, distance) data helps you see the changes better, a table or a graph? Explain your choice. answer: As, said above, I think the method of graph would be easier to see data changes. I think it's because with tables, you have to look at all the data while in a graph, you could see the chages onlyby looking at the lines connecting the dots. You also probably won't need a scale if you only watn the basic pattern. 2.3 FU Use the graph to determine the total distance the riders traveled on day 3. Explain how you determined your answer. answer: I think they traveled about 97 miles. I got this answer by adding up all the intervals. So 1+8x8+6x2+9+2+0x2= 97. (miles)
