Answer
To find the route distance from Bloemfontein to NAMPO Park:
First, calculate the distance from Bloemfontein to Welkom which is 152 km.
From Welkom to Bultfontein is 52 km (152 km - 100 km).
Total distance from Bloemfontein to NAMPO Park = Distance(Bloemfontein to Welkom) + Distance(Welkom to NAMPO Park).
Using the route: Bothaville → Bultfontein → NAMPO Park gives us a route of 100 km to Bultfontein + 18 km to NAMPO Park, totaling 118 km.

Answer
To verify Alfred's timing:
The total time taken from 18:45 to 20:00 is 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Calculate distance traveled at 88 km/h for 1.25 hours:
Distance=Speed×Time=88km/h×1.25h=110km
Since he is expected to arrive in Sasolburg at 20:00, we need to check if he travels 110 km in the given time. Hence, his timing is correct.
