Examples include converting from one curreney to another, converting distance in miles to kilometres and converting temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. ‘The graph below converts South African rand into euros bused ‘on an exchange rate of €1 = 8.80 rand. A 90 80: 4 70 60. 50 40 80 20. 10 Tes co Rand i) Using the graph estimate the number of rand equivalent to €5. A line is drawn up from €5 until it reaches the plotted line, then across to the vertical axis. From the graph it can be seen that €5 ~ 44 rand (~is the symbol for “is approximately equal to’) ii) Using the graph, what would be the cost in euros of a drink costing 25 rand? A line is drawn across from 25 rand until it reaches the plotted line, then down to the horizontal axis. From the graph it can be seen that the cost of the drink ~ €2.80. Ifa meal costs 200 rand, use the graph to estimate its cost in eur The graph does not go up to 200 rand, therefore a factor of 200 needs to be used e.g, 50 rand. From the graph 50 rand ~ €5.70, therefore it can be deduced that 200 rand ~ €22.80 (i.e. 4X €5.70). 7 Graphs in practical situations Exercise 17.1 J.
