An annual agricultural agricultural show is held at NAMPO Park in the Free State in May - NSC Mathematical Literacy - Question 1 - 2019 - Paper 2

The two general compass directions are Southwest and South.

Using the distances given:

• Bloemfontein to Welkom: 152 km
• Bloemfontein to Bultfontein: 100 km

The distance from Bloemfontein to NAMPO Park can be calculated by first finding the distance via Welkom:

150 + 100 = 220 km.

Thus, the route used to indicate the distance is through Bultfontein.

To verify Alfred's timing:

1. Calculate the total distance he travels:

   • Distance from NAMPO Park to Sasolburg: 88 km/h for time t (in hours).

2. Use the formula to find time:

   $\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}$

   Rearranging gives: $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

   Plugging in the values:

   $\text{Time} = \frac{88 \text{ km}}{88 \text{ km/h}} = 1 \text{ hour}$

3. He departs at 18:45, so:

   • 18:45 + 1 hour = 19:45.

4. Therefore, he will arrive at Sasolburg at 19:45, not at 8:00 pm. Thus, his timing is incorrect.
