NAME: ______DATE: ______GENERAL MATH – MATH FUNDAMENTALS REVIEW ADDITION – PROJECT In this activity, you will be planning a trip to somewhere in the continental United States, Mexico, and/or southern Canada. You will use the attached map to calculate the distance of the trip, the estimated driving time, and other related items.

STEP #1  You will plan three different trips. In the table below, fill in each city that you travel through and the mileage between cities. Since Postville is not on the map, use DUBUQUE, Iowa as your starting point. Your trip must go through at least FIVE cities. TRIP #1 TRIP #2 TRIP #3 FROM TO MILES FROM TO MILES FROM TO MILES

DUB. DUB. DUB.

Total MILES  Total MILES  Total MILES 

STEP #2  Use three different colors to highlight the path of your trip on the map.

STEP #3  Add up the miles for each leg of the trips and calculate the total number of miles. Fill those numbers in the spaces at the bottom of the chart. STEP #4  In the table below, fill in each of the cities that you traveled through and the estimate travel time between cities. TRIP #1 TRIP #2 TRIP #3 FROM TO TIME FROM TO TIME FROM TO TIME

DUB. DUB. DUB.

Total TIME  Total TIME  Total TIME 

STEP #5  Add up the times for each leg of the trips and calculate the total estimated travel time. Remember that one hour is equal to sixty minutes (1 hour = 60 minutes). Fill those numbers in the spaces at the bottom of the chart.

STEP #6  Suppose that your car gets an average of 25 MPG (miles per gallon). Calculate the number of gallons of gas you will need for the trip. Do this by dividing the number of the miles from step #3 by 25 MPG. Fill these values in the chart below. TRIP #1 TRIP #2 TRIP #3

GALLONS  GALLONS  GALLONS 

COST OF GAS  COST OF GAS  COST OF GAS 

STEP #7  Suppose that the average cost of gas is $1.75 per gallon. Calculate the cost of gasoline for each of the trips by multiplying the number of gallons by the cost of one gallon of gas. Fill those values in the chart above.
