    1) Well, of you look at the point they started going back it is at 120km meaning from Leeds to Blackpool, it is 120km long.

    2) At, 3:30 you can see that the dotted line (Car B) is higher in the graph meaning it has travelled farther. It only means it has travelled farther because the distance line is the y-axis. This gives us an answer, Car B.

    3) We can do the same thing as we did for problem 2 but check for 4:15. This will give you Car A.

    4) On the graph, Car A had travelled 100 miles and Car B had 60 miles. 100 - 60 = 40. This gives you 40 miles
